Hi I have been using IS for over 5 years now and although I have to agree with other comments in regards to the quality of the product and their support (very poor), I would still recommend it, even though admittedly I have not tried Wise. The majority of the bugs and problems are within the IDE and usually have a workaround, not ideal I know. However IS is a very powerful product and I have yet to find a situation/configuration I could not create an installer for. It can be very frustrating at times to work with, but there is an excellent user base and forum full of very helpful people always willing to help out a fellow installer. If you are still set against IS there is an alternative called InstallAware that I believe was founded by ex-employees of IS when they where taken over by Macrovision. Hope that helps… Neil.
