If you have an installer, I'd recommend you stay with it. You know its ins and outs, you have its bug map in your head, and the learning curve for a different installer (albeit it's mostly the tedious learning of new names for the same stuff) is pretty much the factor which would be enough for me to stay with the old one. Unless, of course, the one you're using is lacking some important feature you can't live without.

If you mean the ISLE (IS (very, very) Limited Edition which comes with VFP), I used it for a year, and if I ever get to build a setup again, I'll go for Inno - even if I had to write a script builder for it. ISLE is just like a car which has pretty much everything, except that all the goodies are disabled. It has prepackaged .msm modules (and it's GUI is completely written and running in a browser object window), but if you want to add a module which isn't there, forget about drag'n'drop - you have to close ISLE, then copy the module into its directory, then reopen ISLE. And that's just the latest hassle I had with it. The bigger one is that if you add VFP help to an app, and add (manually - it's not in the VFP runtime module) the two files needed for it, don't install it on development machine - because when you uninstall, it will at least unregister or even delete (depending on location) these two, and you lose help in VFP, and it may nag you with "installing" dialogue each time you run VFP or a VFP executable.

There's more, but Set Rant Off.
