John,
I've used InstallShield, Wise, and Setup Factory, but my favorite setup builder product is still Inno Setup. Inno Setup is a free setup builder with the same features as InstallShield or Wise, but in a more compact form. One of the great features of Inno Setup is that your setup scripts are stored in plain text files similar to the layout of an INI file. This makes it easy to review your setups in detail, compare (DIFF) setups to see what's changed, to copy and paste common setup properties across projects and even to programmatically generate your setup scripts from start to finish.
Highly recommended! Sample scripts on
www.Fox.Wikis.com and in
www.leafe.com Profox archives.
