Can you define package manager first? I’ve found people have different
definitions of that word.
Note: IMHO, NuGet is a package manager for VS. It is not an installation
mechanism, although there are projects that build on NuGet as a transportation
protocol and write things like package managers.

Subject: [WiX-devs] How about package manager based on Windows Installer and
WiX?
Of course we have great NuGet project, but it have some issues:
1. It encourages the use of multiple files of the same assembly on one
machine (duplication). Duplication requires more disk space and more bandwidth
when downloading.
1. It doesn't integrated with Windows Installer or WiX. No installation per
machine, no deploying, no detection of installed dll’s
1. We have not simple mechanism to create, distribute and update NuGet
packages (and WiX-based installers too)
