    Need Install Package suggestions

    I need to create an install that will do the following:

    - Create application folder and copy files into it.
    - Register DLL's
    - Add an assembly to the GAC
    - Create a Start|Programs item and associate with the .exe in above folder

    What can anyone suggest to do this? So far I've been able to do most of this with a Batch file. The last item I have not figured out how to do with a BAT file.

    My two suggestions would be VB's Package and Deployment Wizard or Inno Setup.

    Ok I am trying INNO setup. However, I can't figure out how to make it register a dll and how to make it run the gacutil to load an assembly.

    Code:
    [Run]
    Filename: "{app}\vcredist_x86.exe";
    Filename: "{app}\gacutil.exe {app}\adodb.dll"; Parameters: "/i";
    Filename: "regsvr32 {sys}\dwgminer.dll"; Parameters: "/s";
    Filename: "regsvr32 {sys}\DToolsXDWG2007.dll"; Parameters: "/s";
    It puts up a message that it cannot find the files even though I have them copied into the {app} directory.
