Frederik: We are using version 2.0.3309.0. We began using it due to limitations that we encountered with the standard Web Installer projects in Visual Studio 2003 (namely issues with IIS deployments).
We have used it to create the deployment packages for four web site / web service applications. The four have been successfully deployed to their production environments and we are developing the fifth and sixth applications that will use the toolset.
