I need a recommendation for an installer. I was using InstallShield but unfortunately it was a demo version that only allowed me to get a quick start. Now I need to switch to an installer that is open source and allows to:

  • create environment variables on user's computer
  • add files to a giving path
  • create .exe (via Release Wizard in IstallShield)

I came across tools like NSIS but I am not sure it has the same features as InstallShield.

Please advice! Thank you

You can use Wix tool. It is open source and it has most of the capability of Installshield. Only problem with WiX is there would be a learning curve of MSI technology and WiX itself.
