Continuing with the "need multiple choice" theme...
Our primary installers are InstallShield-based. Somewhat old, somewhat creaky scripted ones. I don't write these.
I did, however, just finish an update installer using NSIS. It is a joy to work with, i must say. Like PHP, but for installers.

I use installshield with a combo of scripts and MSI.
Scripts for those things that I must control on my own.
MSI to install those packages like MSDE 2000.
If I could live w/o MSI, I would.
To me, MSI sounds like a perfect example of how Microsoft
jumping into the arena and providing yet another extra
complication in my life.

This poll should really have been multiple selection. We have used/still use at least 3 on the list and have written our own installer in the past - for W3.1
Currently using InstallShield, its giving us a real headache with some components.
Doesn't install fonts correctly , fails to register some services, cannot script the repair option etc. Doesn't report problems when they occur.
So we aim to build all this into our own software in future. So we will eventaully use none...

Try to use NSIS. You will not regret it.
