[mapguide-internals] Why are some FDO providers missing fromthe MapGuide installation?

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

No, I have only had a quick go at both.

The main advantage with WiX is that it builds MSI packages, which can be 
loaded in Citrix and other systems easily.
The main advantage of NSIS, is that it does not use the MSI system, and 
is thus easier to control (IMO), but it produces .exe files, which may 
not be easily integrated into all package distribution systems.

For MapGuide the use in an automated installation system is probably 
limited, and I would go for NSIS there.
