    Question WISE vs Inno Setup

    I have created a Inno Setup installation for my VB6 app which comprises of many 3rd party & custom controls.

    Wondering if there are any benefits/disadvantages using Wise Packaging or Wise Installer as opposed to Inno Setup ??

    Any thoughts?

    I have used Wise before and its a very powerful installer. I havent used Inno Setup but its popular since its free. Allot of threads on Inno.

    Re: WISE vs Inno Setup

    Basically the real concern should be does your installer accomplish relatively easy what you need to do. Why worry about functions and power you will never use... Unless of course you figure out what you need it for.

    It would be like having a car and seeing if you could use a Formula Race Car. If you never need that kind of power, it's a complete waste...
