This is a note for all others searching for a XMind - Mind Mapping version that can be deployed in Enterprise via Active Directory. I'm not a developer of XMind, but I've created a full-fledged per Machine MSI setup for the XMind Team to make XMind deployable via Active Directory. If you'd like to push it out to your users desktops - it's available now. No need to wrap suxxx NSIS installer into an MSI any longer.
It has been deployed to ~50 machines without any issues. I have not received any feedback from the XMind guys yet, but hope it will see the public light soon.

These are the setup features that have been implemented and can be enabled/disabled via transforms:
- Installations on both x86 and x64 are supported
- All Features can be customized via transforms
- Automatic upgrade from previous NSIS setups
- Automatic upgrade over existing versions in future (no uninstall required)
- Setup is available in English or in a MUI version that currently supports English/German and 5 other languages
- It also fixes some NSIS Setup bugs, e.g Workbook template is installed per User, but should be per Machine
Versions available: 3.2.1+
