Question

I just finished developing a system for a company. It will be used on 50+ PCs.

The only problem left is the installation process. I don\'t think it\'s efficient to manua

Answer 1

I've used the Wix Toolset to create an installer in the past. It's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, I think its pretty good. It will let you manage install location, desktop and start menu shortcuts etc, and install any software dependencies such as a particular .NET framework version or Adobe Reader for instance. There is also an extension for visual studio and its free which always helps.
