    P&D - Great if you just need a quick simple setup.

    VS installer - Dont like it...ive seen too many problems with it.

    Inno - Awesome...great for any situation.

    For what it is worth, I agree with Cander. P & D is just fine if you are a corporate developer, but if you write commerical software you need something more realible, and something with more visual razzle dazzle than P & D wizard gives.

    Does anyone know of a freeware setup package that supports msm files?

    Oh yeah, Elhassan. There is also Wise Installer which is great. Not free though.
