Hi Timotheus, thanks for your suggestion. IMHO there is no other installer right now. We started thinking of creating one since the download/unblock issue drove us nuts.
In office we created a separate svn repository just for dev tools like nant and wix. So the users just do an update an she is done. This only requires to add nant\bin path to %PATH% once for each machine. Wix/MSI has some benefits when it comes to multiple deployments in larger teams. It might be deployed by group policies. But it is rather complex. Innosetup is IMHO the easiest installer tool. I only saw some nsis files (more complex than innosetup) and I did all of our .net setups with WiX. Besides this I would add nant.exe to path than creating a nant.bat file in %WINDIR%. Which requires admin rights.
