Don't some of those help build msi packages? I thought at least InstallShield did.

InstallShield can, but they're not particularly nice MSIs. I remember an old Symantec Antivirus MSI (2005-2006 timeframe) that used InstallShield's "ISScript" which ended up not being capable of being uninstalled in an automated manner. It was a pain. Search-engining those keywords today shows me that ISScript-related problems persist.
