I'm a long-time Wise for Windows Installer user (I was even a forum advisor for several years there), but since that product is pretty much dead for all intents and purposes, I checked out InstallAware. Let me tell you what a frustrating two weeks it was while I was evaluating. No direct access to the tables. Their support people tell me that I don't need to do that. I've been doing Windows Installer for about 8 years now, and I know how valuable direct table access is. Then there was the bug that corrupted my project randomly with a weird Web Block error. I wasn't even making a Web Install, so I'm not sure how web blocks came into the picture. I had to recreate my eval project several times. After another couple of false starts, I just gave up and turfed it.<br><br>I don't know where to turn now. WfWI is dead, IS is crap and IA also seems to be crap. Time to start doing it by hand with WiX??Bill MacEachernnoreply@blogger.com
