>For super quick and fairly simple installs, I highly recommend Inno4. I got mine setup going in about 15 min. All you do is create a script desingnating the install paths and files and off you go. Best of all it's free! Check it out at http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

I HATE Installshield, and believe me, it's not a matter of love and hate, no it's simply HATE. I use Inno Setup, but people should not make the mistake to think that it's all a matter of 15 minutes. Remember, you're installing on someone else's machine and it's fairly easy to really ruin the user's configuration without being aware of this, and it's not necessarilly the fault of the installer. See for example the 'Unsafe files' section in the helptext of Inno Setup 4.

If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
