I don't know, but my experience is very different than Frank's - I've been using InstallShield Pro for a number of years now, and am very pleased with the capabilities, especially with the new Wizards that help with ActiveX deployment. And I've always been considered very wierd for recommending that you bundle in a VFP runtime built from Setup Wizard with my InstallShield scripts - Setup Wizard does this one thing right, and I take maximum advantage. I've yet to run into anything I couldn't do with IS Pro.

Wise is about the strongest contender I see for doing serious installs other than IS Pro.
