Most of the wrappers in the field are still written in VBScript or as a Batch and although VBS is very fast and efficient I personally don´t like the fact that is not as easy to understand as a PowerShell script. In short: It provides functionality that is not available in an ESD product from scratch. This scripts could for example run copy jobs before or after the installation routine of an application, clean up files or provide extended logging functionality that some electronic software delivery products are missing today.
