i have no strong opinion, here. If you can write it, no problem for me. I 
will use it, i think.

I don't like msi installers as you can install the software only if you 
have admin privilegies :

"Note that msi packages requires administrative privileges in order to 
install correctly"

so for me, it's not acceptable.
