What kind of installers are people using to deploy their Ogre projects (or projects in general)? Preferably something in the 'free' price range even for commercial software, and preferably without having to take time off real work to roll my own or batter a poorly-made solution into submission.
Nullsoft? InstallShield Express? What are people's opinions? Are there freeware tools to create commercial .MSI installers as Microsoft pushes?

That made me remember about a discussion on TIGSource : http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=4375.0
So I searched on StackOverflow and didn't found the exact same question, so I asked : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1279 ... r-software

Jacmoe mentioned WiX, and there's always the Visual Studio Deployment project type if you have the retail Visual Studio.Are there freeware tools to create commercial .MSI installers as Microsoft pushes?
