I worked with it for a few hours, and was impressed... the only thing I found that I could not get to work is the ability to store the target installation directory (Local and Network) in the registry. In Installshield, you can have the variable (TARGETDIR?) evaluated and stored in the registry based on the user's choice.
Our application setup will always be installed from a shared network directory - we just can't guarantee what the name will be. Nor can we guarantee where they will install locally. The reason we need this information is that any updates we send out are copied to their network drive first then each workstation updates itself if necessary.
You also seem to be forced to install your application in the 'program files' directory. I know this is the Windows thing to do, but not all applications are designed this way.
