Install programs

[Kierce]

Can anyone recommend a good installation program, I have read some articles that say that the one that comes with VB is not very good. Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Well if you want to learn the MSI format you could use the new Windows Installer (there is an SDK available on their Website). Or download the Visual Studio Installer, which allows you to visually make VB installers.
That'd probably be the way to go .. I've heard many good things about Windows installer and it makes your apps more Win2k-complient.

Alternatively, there are a TON of commercial installers out there, as well as some free. Here are a few links:

Wise Installer - http://www.wisesolutions.com Commercial
InstallShield - http://www.installshield.com Commercial
GP-Install - http://www.qsc.co.uk Freeware
Inno Setup (not sure about URL.. do a Net search). Freeware

hope this helps
