We've used both Installshield express and Inno setup with great success.<br />
<br />
You will want istool to work with Innosetup. &nbsp;It can be downloaded from the same site.<br />
<br />

Another installer application you could try is NSIS<br />
<a href="http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page" rel="ugc">http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page</a><br />
<br />
It only creates EXE files but it is free to use
</div>


<div>
I recommend Innosetup as well, very good and easy to use

<div>
Innosetup was just the product I needed.<br />

Hi,<br />
I am trying to create a simple install program. &nbsp;It will be used to distribute drawings (probably PDFs or engineering type) to clients. &nbsp;I need to have the end user accept a EULA before the program will let them have access to the drawings. &nbsp;In the past (9 years ago) I used install shield for this type of program. &nbsp;They tried to pitch a &quot;Flexnet InstallShield Express&quot; package that is kind of pricey IMHO. &nbsp;I did some searching and found a &quot;InstallShield Express&quot; - without the flexnet, that was more im our price range. &nbsp;What other products are there that can be used for this? &nbsp;Is there a MSI compiler?<br />

Hi,
I am trying to create a simple install program.  It will be used to distribute drawings (probably PDFs or engineering type) to clients.  I need to have the end user accept a EULA before the program will let them have access to the drawings.  In the past (9 years ago) I used install shield for this type of program.  They tried to pitch a "Flexnet InstallShield Express" package that is kind of pricey IMHO.  I did some searching and found a "InstallShield Express" - without the flexnet, that was more im our price range.  What other products are there that can be used for this?  Is there a MSI compiler?

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

Installation

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
