msi-only install

Hello all

I've tried downloading tortoise but I cannot find anything
other than an .msi file to download.

Are .msi files really able to do everything that an
executable installer can do, or is it because someone
is following the latest fashion.

To download the msi package from microsoft I need
to get windows installation "validated", which means
I have to install WGA or equivalent on a machine, forever
letting it phone home (it's not uninstallable!).

I also doubt that microsoft is going to /validate/ my
wine install.

What's the best way to proceed in order to use tortoise?
Should I rather just choose a free package instead?

Thanks for your time.
