How well does it compress? Can I use LZMA compression? The installer size is very important. I'm personally not fond of MSIs. (The 'Repair' option is just weird.) In addition, I'd like to give people the option of having several Shoes installations on their machine at once, in order to allow running of old apps without an upgrade effecting it. So, tell me the problem with NSIS. Is it only that multiple versions of the same app will show up in Add/Remove Programs? _why
