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?

WIX.
Nullsoft.
I like the latter better because I hate fiddling with XML..

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 :

Edit> That was a duplicate :

Used, fine with it myself, good luck trying to get it to install the DLL CRT

Never used it myself

Jacmoe mentioned WiX, and there's always the Visual Studio Deployment project type if you have the retail Visual Studio.
