Package Installer

The company I work for develops POS software. It is currently Access
based and our install is largely manual. This is tedious, error prone
and time consuming. I am not very familiar with Windows packaging
solutions. From your experience, is there anything to be gained over
using a retail packaging solution versus using the Access package
solution wizard? There are several registry keys, additional
applications and controls that need to be registered as part of the
installation process. Does it make sense to utilize the package
wizard and then perform the additional steps in VBScript? I am
uncertain the best approach to take. The finished product doesn't
have to be very polished looking. This is more for our use than our
customers.
