 "Also, Windows Installer has the advantage of integration with sitewide
 and/or silent and/or automatic updates. A systems administrator at a
 business with 50 000 networked computers can easily have a Windows
 Installer program sent to all computers and installed automatically, WISE
 (and NSIS and Inno Setup) cannot do this.

 Windows Installer enables installation of updates under a restricted
 environment, where NSIS has never been able to do this."

 This could help to expand and reditribute this wonderfull instant
 messaging software.
 And for enterprises it would be great to take advantage of this
 opportunity so they mussn't install each "standalone" software (aim,
 messenger, yahoomessenger...)
