I am looking for suggestions to an alternative setup application from Install Shield.
We are currently using Install Shield and I have never been impressed with it. It's way too bulky and the scripting system sucks.
Has anyone had any better luck with any of the other products like WiX, Inno Setup, NSIS or InstallAware, etc? I am not worried about the cost, but what I am looking for is a very lightweight, easy to use application to bundle up our .exe and about 20 support DLLs, registering a few, setting up some registry values and install help.
Can anyone recommend something they are using? It would be nice to hear from people who have switched from Install Shield as well, what makes the new app you're using better.
