Hi everybody,
What installer/deployment tool are you all using?
I've been struggeling with the built-in tools since .NET came out, but after
too many hits in the head and I'm running out of helmets. See related thread.
Maybe it's down to the (lack of) docuementation, I don't know. I've ask a
couple of times here and in other forums for something more substantial on
..NET Setup projects and the installer classes, but nobody seems, so I guess
there still isn't any to be found. Haven't dived deep enough into .NET 2005
so say if things have changed or not. So any experiences are welcomed.

Thanks for your help,

We've been using InnoSetup for quite some time now for projects in
various programming languages. You can find it here: http://www.jrsoftware.org/

Thanks! The documentation and the script files certainly seem clear. What
would you say the major strenghts are? Any weaknesses I should know of when
before I start testdriving?

It can't create MSI files. One of our customers wanted that for ZEN or
something similar. Other than that it's pretty powerfull.
It's free (even for commercial use), it's open source, customizable via
scripting. So far I haven't had any problems creating the kinds of setup
I needed so other than the lack of MSI support I can't think of any
downside at the moment.

I dont think I posted to this thread already - if I did I apologize for the duplication. http://www.installaware.com/ does MSI's.
