I've heard pretty good things about that Setup2Go.
Persoanlly I've used NSIS (http://nsis.sf.net), and found it to be pretty good. There is also an IDE (http://hmne.sourceforge.net/) for it, with a useful wizard. Some people don't like NSIS, cuz it's like "programming" just to write an installer, but I found it fairly straight forward for common installation things. Plus there is a forum @ Winamp forums for it, so it is easy to get help.

I like Inno Setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php). Its free and offers plenty of features.

@ Latem:

I am not interested in setup programs that requires scripting. Setup2go is free from scripting and believe me its so simple to use that I liked it very much and so I have registered it.



@ Davey:

Inno Setup seems nice also it has free source code. I am interested in it so I am downloading it, btw does it shows any banner in the setup program when u have made the installer?

Setup2go does not show any banners if u have registered it.


BTW, guys do you know about Ghost Installer? I have used the demo version and its really rocks.

InnoSetup is absolutely free, does not show any banner, and do not require any registration. I use it it from about three years. It's pretty good and easy to use.

When you launch InnoSetup you can choose "Create a new script file using the Script Wizard".
This wizard can help you to easely create a starting script.
Then, it's no sweat to add by hand, for example, new files under [Files] section.
Also it have a pretty good help and it takes very short time to understand it.
