What about http://sourceforge.net/projects/wix/?
There are very many installer builders for windows, but none that I have seen manage many independently updated packages with interdependencies, in the way that our current setup does.

My question as I've asked before is, can or is someone working on improving accessibility of setup.exe for those of us who have to use windows via a screenreader

Did you happen to follow the "setup.exe sucks" thread over in cygwin-apps? Basically, it boils down to the fact that I and others are not really thrilled with setup.exe in its current form. While it is an impressive program in some ways, the UI is (apparently) too non-intuitive and the mean-time between bug fixes is too long.
Are you aware of a setup-like program out there which "gets it right" as far as UI is concerned? It would be nice to transition to an open-sources alternative which was actively supported.
