This is the blog of the installer team at MS:::

perhaps a read thru will provide you some info about Vista installation,
tools, and techniques.
[OT]-----------------------
My suggestion, in fact my experience, is to use the weight and energy of the
big bulls who write first version OS as my first pass into a market.
In other words, Use MS (& Apple) until you find that 3rd parties are their
equal...
MS for Vista thru this year ...
Apple for *L* thru this year ....
would be the easiest way to wage the market battle ... but then I've never
thought that one-size-fits-all.
Installs are a part of the Windows user... in the land of corporations, the
installation, ease and reliability are must-haves on the checklist ... if it
don't install, it don't deploy....
People, many on this list probably, don't/didn't like VB because of the
rhetoric of DLL-HELL, which was a result of bad install/stupid deploy...
Several firms created "one way" "one file" applications that bundled the
dlls into the executable package, to overcome this. There were bundlers sold
to VB code shops to make their app be "self contained" thereby avoiding the
terror of DLL-HELL.
