Python Software Foundation would easily get a free license of one of the
good commercial MSI installer generators.
Can you recommend a specific one?
I've had good results with Advanced Installer:
http://www.advancedinstaller.com/feats-list.html
It does support 64-bit packages, and it uses a XML file as input. It
supports Vista and UAC, per-user and per-machine install, registry
modification, environment variables, upgrades/downgrades/side installs,
online installs. And it's free as in beer. The commercial version has
many more features, but I don't think Python needs them.
The free edition is missing at least one important feature:
Merge Modules into your installation
Create self-contained MSI packages, by including and configuring the
required merge modules.
