I suspect many of those 3rd party installers predate the creation of
MSI.
M$ would rather everything be done as MSI since they've tied them
into the security system (there is no <right-click> option for "run
as..." on WinXP, meaning one /must/ log-in as an administrator to run
them... Whereas installers that package as EXE can be started from any
account using the "run as..." to gain admin).
