        Converting InnoSetup to MSI would be straightforward, requiring a one-to-one conversion of parameters into WIX formatted XML files. These files can be compiled using the existing WIX compilers or the user can do it themselves. I seriously looked at WIX, but came running to InnoSetup because of the ridiculous learning curve.

        Maybe it would be good to publish an "official guide to wrap Inno Setup installers with WIX to deploy via Group Policy".

        WiX is the keyword...

        Aren't there already tools out there to do this?
        Shouldn't it be left to the apps that specialise in doing exactly this?
