Can you suggest me a good installer program which is freeware and easy to
use ? Because i don't have so much time to learn how it is working.

eventualities, but it also offers a pascal scripting engine (the
excellent Innerfuse one) with which I imagine you could do just about
anything.
Functionalilty aside, it produces very nice, professional looking
installs which do everything that the commercial packages do. Your
users won't know the difference.

I agree. I have been using it since 1999. Great program and just keeps
getting better.

Inno is everything an installer should be - simple and customisable.
It is a fantastic freeware program.
Cheers,

I use the Gentee installer. it is one I downloaded years ago as freeware. I
don't know if it;s still free though.

We have an application that needs to install SQL Express, which
requires .NET 2.0, run some SQL scripts, hit a web service
to obtain an ID, and other normal install activities.
We are looking at what installer to use. Our top two candidates
are MSI and Inno Setup.
Which do you think would be more appropriate?
Thanks,
Brad.

I've constructed some relatively basic installs with InnoSetup, and
have plans to include activities such as those above in future
installs. I wouldn't be surprised if InnoSetup could handle it all. The
InnoSetup newsgroups are invaluable for finding out.
I also looked into MSI and ran away screaming. <g>

You can do Delphi script right in the setup and if there is something
the pascal script cannot do you can include a Delphi DLL for extra
functionality.
MSI is super cryptic and difficult to use unless you have something like
WISE for MSI or what not, you can spend a huge chunk of change for a MSI
installer environment.

Nullsoft NSIS works fine for me.

you are aiming your tool at network installations, you may find that
some of your clients require MSI.
If not, the Inno shouldn't have too much trouble with what you want to
do, it is a great tool. Otherwise, if you have to go MSI, then try
InstallAware.
