Need Installshield or Wise to create an MSI/Setup that embeds MSDE, recommendations?

MJB

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
