Ive used installrite in the past and it seems to work well. Just a word of warning, when creating the sanpshots, try to use a clean windows install.

Hi bart21,

I like using WIX to create MSI, its opensource and created by Microsoft.

WixEdit (opensource) and InStyler (free for non-commerical) are both good WIX package creators.

Hope this helps.

same as above two - wininstall le is really good considering it is free and that everything that is free is a saving

Advanced Installer is great for creating clean MSIs.
