        I always use the Visual Studio Setup Installation package. Or perhaps you were talking about something else? :-O

          VS Setup Installation lacks many features that I need. Custom prerequisites, multiple language support, writing into Registry, custom actions. zilo

            I recently had the same problem, I needed to do every thing you listed. I did all by using the VS setup package. Both of the articles below have examples on how to tackle all of the issues you listed :) http://www.codeproject.com/install/shortcut_installer.asp[^] http://www.codeproject.com/install/SetupAndDeployment.asp[^]

              How about WiX (Windows Installer XML). Its free and MS uses it for installers such as Office 2007. Hogan
