WiX (.msi, Windows Installer, that is) already has this ".zip feature" built-in, it just uses another compression method (if at all, I never actually checked) and calls them .cab files instead of .zip ones. These cabinet files can be embedded inside the .msi (this is the usual case so that the customer will only need to download or receive a single file) or kept outside the .msi file. If you only want to copy files into their proper location with WiX, you can do just that. There is no need to use any other feature you don't need. Just check out the starting samples in the tutorial (www.tramontana.co.hu/wix) to see how easy it is. > burdensome.

You get most of this for completely free. You just specify the directory structure and the files inside, reference the bundled WixUI user interface and you'll get all the rest for free. Thinking about upgrade, if you'll ever need it, is not more complicated than to observe a few simple rules about which GUIDs to change and when, as well as using reasonable version information in your own executables (which you probably already do, anyway).
