Good point but I don't think MSTest is available in all version of VS.
I seem to remember reading that VS2012 supports building VC++ projects without
VS but searching briefly this morning I can't find it.

I have only used NUnit and MSTest from build view point (i.e. I didn't write
the tests just organised running them in the build). I was disappointed with
MSTest as the only way I found to run it was to install a full version of
Visual Studio 2010 (not sure if this still the case in 2012) on my build
machine which doesn't feel correct to me.
WiX already requires VS to be installed, so MSTest wouldn't add a new
requirement. (Until someone on the VC++ team decides to officially document how
to get the C++ bits on a build box without the full VS install, anyway.)
One advantage MSTest has is better support than most for integration-style
tests (e.g., payloads for Burn tests). We could use multiple frameworks,
though, if something like xUnit.NET offered unit-test features we wanted to
take advantage of.
