You probably think of:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127315
I would like to have this one solved: ;-)
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127628
Although it is not a critical one it is a regression on Windows since
4.1.3 and it confuses new users.

No, NSIS just unpacks the files and calls setup.exe.
The MSI installer then installs MSVC runtime first before proceeding. ;-)

I think it is better to renew the installer completely. I have found a open source framework that simplifies the creation of the installer and builds the msi file for us.
It offers .net framework for writing a installer screens (MSI does not provide such a thing). The tutorials I have read looked pretty streight forward, at least for the standard installer stuff.
I think I read that you can include a dependance msi package in the msi package.
But I forgot again. I looked into msi a month ago. The last month has been quite intense for me.
We could deliver a single MSI file in future and even create the patch file from it.
I am currently unsure concerning the package signing, but once we have a pure MSI setup it should be easy to add too, right?

The nsis installer extracts and runs the MSVC runtime libraries installer before running the AOO installer. Since AOO is compiled with MSVC it requires these libraries are installed first. I don't know how TDF got rid of that step but possibly they are including the MSVC libraries needed in the program folder?
Maybe AOO can do the same and skip the nsis installer?

Technically seen:
To unpack the installation files and to start the installation with MSI.
Historically seen:
I don't know! ;-)
But I suspect you are thinking of:

Why do we need nsis again?
