I'm not sure that's possible, other than making WinCvs an MSI too and having a combined installer. > I also noticed that installer grew in size from 2,257,157 bytes for > cvsnt-2.0.51d.exe to 3,252,736 bytes for cvsnt-2.0.60.msi.

I was getting linker errors because you can't mix static/dynamic. The difference in size is minor, really. In theory I could start building msps which would be tiny if required, but probably won't bother... 3MB is hardly a lot nowadays. > Overall new installer doesn't make good impression on me and seems to create > problems with some basic operations.

Won't work - you need to be able to control the install from active directory - eg. automatically installing to a fixed directory on an entire forest, network based 'install on first use' installs, etc. Innosetup just can't do that... it doesn't have the options.
