www.advancedinstaller.com[^] is, I think, the link for Advanced Installer. Their free version is probably all you need.

The listview control uses an item a the "main" object in its collection. Each item has a collection of subitems. The easiest way to understand it is by opening up Windows Explorer and setting the view to list. You will see a file (item) with it's properties (subitems) like size, date, etc. There is an article on MSDN that provides clear examples. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listview.items(VS.71).aspx Hope this helps!
