    If you mean the package and deployment wizard, it is an addin that must be loaded with the addinmanager.

    Stay clear of the P&D Wizard and go with Inno.

    Inno is quick to setup to your requirements. They have an excellent Help (within the program and online). I think from memory they also have some templates to help you setup your first installer.

    Inno is a third party software for packaging. The P&D Wizard in a MS packaging utility that can be used as an VB AddIn or standalone. The P&D Wiz is very easy to use for basic projects and installs.

    It was nothing but trouble for me plus it's not very customisable.

    What do you mean? You have the fullsource code for the p and d wiz so its the ultimate in installers when it coms to customization. Never had an issue for me with it but guess it depends on the project, references, os platforms etc.
