    You get what you pay for. Inno (and NSIS) are free.

    In this case, it is work to get it to do what you want, but it's no less powerful than any other installer; It'll do everything necessary and reliably. I'd suspect you are scripting it incorrectly. If you don't have the patience to work with it - and that's quite understandable - then almost any 'pay' installer will probably be better suited for your needs.

    Have you tried the VS Setup Package? (Don't know what dev environment you are using).
