VS.NET Developers poll: Installshield vs Wise

Hi folks,

I'm currently evaluating a .NET installer platform.
Basically, it has come down to either Wise or Installshield.

It would be great to hear about your experiences with these
product in deploying .NET apps. If you have experience
deploying MSDE and the .NET runtime along with your app,
that would be great.

Regards,

Why not the MSI installer that comes with VStudio? Between installsheild and
wise, I like wise better, but I like MSI the best, especially for .NET

The MSI installer that comes with VS.NET 2003 is great, but it doesn't
have what it takes to easily accomplish the task at hand.

The application (it's a C# app) I'm trying to create the setup for uses MSDE. I want to add the MSDE merge modules to the setup so that it will all get installed at once. Will both InstallShield and Wise handle this? If I go with InstallShield will the Express version suffice, or is the Developer version the better choice? Any suggestions or experience with either product will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt

Hi. Our company has about 20 application developers/architects and one certified dba. Our developers both design the databases and build the applications.

On the other hand, some of the Oracle tools, like Change Management Pack, are things that our developers need to run....

Hi, I have got InstallShield with VC++, and I would like to use it to create a setup for various types of project, e.g. a game, activeX control, etc. However the project wizard only allows you to choose an .exe, and it makes you choose between 'database application', 'finance application', etc. What if my product isn't an .exe, say it's an .ocx, or what if it isn't one of these predefined types of program? I've no idea on where to start...

It seems that the Access 97 ADT and 2000 ODE installers can seriously mess up a customer's computer. Sagekey sells a script to prevent this (~$500) which runs on Wise/Installshield (~$500) for a combined cost of about $1,000. Are there any less expensive installers which handle Access problems/conflicts? Brooks

Hi folks, I have unpacked an all-in-one exe produced by InstallShield. I've made the necessary changes and now I'm ready to repack the files. How can I do that? Which program should I use? For unpacking I used IsXunpack. But which one should I use to repack the files into an all-in-one exe again? Maybe I should use InstallShield itself, but how?

This has happened numerous times in the past and I never can pinpoint what caused it. It has to do with Installshield (either a failed software removal or installation). When a source code is opened, or VB is launched, the Installshield dialog comes up as of it is trying to install a software. It will then err out with a dialog "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD Rom or other removable media..Insert

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
