If you want an example of how **not** to do an installer the SQL Server is
the one to go for! It is not the Windows Installer parts that are bad it
is the bootstrapped that warps it all up.

What is he doing in his current installer? There are some things in MSI
that are more complex than in InnoSetup and NSIS (although Burn in WiX v3.6
tackles most of them). I'm curious because tackling the complexity
problem/perception is very important to me in WiX v4.0.

MSI is complicated. Setup is complicated. There is a learning curve but once
you nail it, it's easy for your users.

I would argue that developing MSI with wix is a little bit more complicated
than developing in c# or other scripting language at the beginning, because
programmers which use to tell the compiler "How to do" things now need to
use declarative language and tell the compiler "What to do"

I don't know much about Inno, but reasons for us to use MSI include:
- rollbacks
- patches (i.e., replacing less than full files), in
