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,

Grant Rettke

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.
