I've been using Visual Studio Setup projects to create my application
installers but Setup projects seem to be a tad limited. What's a good
alternative for creating MSI installers? I'd prefer something that doesn't
cost an arm and a leg like InstallShield, and I assume there must be
something out there. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
One of my requirements btw is that the installer can be run in an automated
environment with no user interaction needed. This lets our nightly build
jobs install the software automatically on test systems where unattended
testing scripts can be run.
Likewise, the process of actually creating the "setup.exe" has to be able to
be
run in an unattended manner. Our nightly build jobs first compile all of our
sources,
and then collects them together as an installable package (currently using a
VS .NET setup
project). This all must be able to be run unattended.
