Windows installers don't look dull at all. They can be customized quite throughly (in case anyone wanted to invest their time on fancy looking install dialogs). Using MSI files also allows to use a couple of features which are missing with Inno. Like identifiers for installed components, so that you know what you have and what you don't have and can identify if you have an older version of a feature preinstalled or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
