I really hate both nsis and inno as both don't care about software deployment and are a pain in the ass to get packaged.

I wouldn't say it's a pain in the ass (for nsis, didn't try inno) cuz it took me 10 min to make my first pack (looking only to samples and not to docs)

I wasn't talking about making the install package itsself. I was referring to software deployable packages. We use TCM for software deployment, and making a deployable package out of inno or nsis made installers is really hard and sometimes impossible. Msi installer made with Installshield are the best to deploy, i also use Adminstudio to repackge software.

Nothing comes close to the robustness of Installshield and its tools. And it comes for free... Wink
