Hi, Has anyone used InstallAware to deploy their Delphi/Interbase apps? What's your experience (good bad) with the product? I'm especially interested in its SQL capabilities. Your comments will be much appreciated. Cheng Wei Software Development Manager FMI Research Ltd P: +64 9 984 4917

Howdi, I have the same question but with Microsoft SQL Server (ie MSDE equivalent). Good experiences? Bad? Is it hard to customise so that for example the installer checks whether an default instance of SQL Server is already installed (can be done by checking registry) and offers the user a

You can grab a trial version of it. I think you get 30 days and I'm sure if you need a little longer Sinan will help you out. I know it can import scripts from Wise and InstallShield but I doubt it could from Youseful's. On 1/30/07, Cheng Wei (FMI) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've not purchased

Another alternative is to fully script it yourself using Inno Setup (which is written in Delphi). The scripting language it provides is very similar to Delphi, and you should be able to find references in the Inno Setup forums to other posters using Inno Setup to deploy database stuff, although I
