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. But the basic idea is that this tool totally abstracts the MSI details. I know *nothing* of MSI but I'm fully able to use this tool and produce installers with more features than those I notice within Python's installer. -- Giovanni Bajo Develer S.r.l. http://www.develer.com
