    Re: good setup program

    for small and "local" projects where u're readily available, the inbuilt pdw works fine. i'd recommend inno setup as a freeware installer. then there are numerous commercial install makers and i've used none of them except the installshield that ships with visual studio 6.

    If your app is written in VB6 and of a small size or limited complexity and references etc. then the included P&D Wizard is sufficient. But if your app is complex or contains certain references or dependancies then just about any other freeware packager will do.

    If its written in .NET then the default Deployment Setup Project is great. I havent had a need yet to look at any other packager.
