Hi Shaun, Personally, I think that Inno Setup is fine as far as it goes, but it is not really the best solution for software installations. Right now I'm considering switching to Microsoft Advanced Setup Installer because it is an advanced installer as the name says. The Advanced Setup Installer has a lot of nice features such as the ability to detect the type of processor, memory, check for things like DirectX version, the .Net Framework, and so on. That makes it the best tool for installing games etc in my opinion. I suppose you could try and scripped all that for Inno Setup, but why do all that work trying to script those features when Advanced Setup Installer can do that already.
