What is Master Packager? Master Packager is an application packaging tool to create and edit Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) files and repackage other installation to MSI format.
Our vision is to make application packaging easy, fast and affordable that is accessible to everyone from application packager freelancer, small company and enterprises.
What are the benefits of using Master Packager? Fast - You will never see "not responding" text in the tool. Modifying large MSIs is effortless. The same goes for repackaging. High quality - Standardize naming, ICE validation, and .dll/.exe file registration mapping are just a few examples of how this tool will reduce human errors and increases quality. Simple - The user interface allows new and experienced packagers to start creating packages immediately. Automation - Capturing, building and applying templates can be fully automated, making it possible to fully automate repackaging. Price - We are doing everything to provide the best Price vs. Performance. Providing the same value or better Master Packager can save you money as it can be up to 22 times less expensive per license than alternatives. Collaborative - With one click from the tool you can register a bug or make a feature suggestion. Support - We will worry about the tools for you, so you can focus only on the packaging.

Use Inno Setup. It's comparably sized, VSCode uses it and GOG.com uses customized builds of it (it's open-source but written in Delphi), and it has a much more declarative (though still extensible) approach that does do stuff like uninstall tracking by default. Source: 12 months ago
We eventually settled on a combination of InnoSetup with InnoSetuo Dependency Installer and NetSparkle which offered a much cleaner experience and use of AzureAD Authentication for Azure Storage Blobs (for updates) as well as InTune Deployments with proper version detection.

The two most popular such installers are Inno Setup and NSIS. Inno is much easier to use (and will handle most tasks automatically), while NSIS creates somewhat smaller installers (but requires you to basically micromanage everything). Source: about 1 year ago
