Preferred installation packageI have been using the VS2005 setup project for a server product that is still in the development stage. It is easy to get a setup going, but I've been frustrated by some hassles. The biggest warning that I can give is to save copies of the install project file. We are using version control and that has been a live saver a couple times. VS has a tendency to corrupt the project file. The first time it happened, it gave an error about not finding a DLL that was referenced by one of the assemblies. It took a little digging around forums to find that this is a symptom of project file corruption and the only solution is rebuilding the setup project. I was able to get away with pulling the previous version from the archive and redoing the latest changes. I am looking at another installer option before we get further on this install. I have been considering WiX and after these discussions I'm going to take a closer look at InnoSetup, NSIS and InstallAware.
