QuietExec is nice for those occasions where you *must* call an EXE during the install but in general I avoid doing that in the first place. I prefer to write my own code for interacting directly with the underlying API so that I can have better error handling and control of the process. When you call an EXE you typically lose a lot of this control and have few options for rollback.
