I have used Inno Setup in the past and recently and I have created an installer for 30 GB worth of data files and some custom scripting to detect installation folders, system config, etc. It is a very good install program with the most IMO worthy features as follows:

  • Support for all windows versions (including Vista) – both 32 bit and 64 bit
  • Choice of single executable or disk spanning
  • Custom Setup types
  • You can create custom pages for the installation
  • Different compression types – 7-Zip’s LZMA compression has excellent compression ratio and fast decompression
  • Integrated Pascal scripting engine
  • Very good community support and variety of example script
  • Many tools available to supplement the installer creation process (like ISTool, InnoSetup Form Designer, addons for downloading, license keys, etc.)

Overall excellent installer with a very small footprint. Strongly recommended!
