    [02/03] Can anyone recommend a third party installer?

    I'm currently using the inbuilt installer project to package up my projects. The problem is, it creates 3 files instead of one. For XP I only need the .MSI file, but for Vista I need to have all 3 files and run the setup.exe file (no idea why).

    I've been asked to change my installations to be one single file. Is there a third party installer I can use, ideally something that can be used much the same as the inbuilt installer?

    I would suggest you to try Ghost Installer.
    Begin with the end in mind.

    Maybe I should have mentioned. I'm producing class libraries, not executables so I need an installer that will register my dll files. Neither of the above installers seem to do this.

    Try Inno Setup with Inno Script combined...
