I'm using Inno Setup on Windows. It's free and customizable. When I get stumped on configuring it, there seems to be a lot of info out there by doing a quick Google search. I also use the KSoft certificates, which seem to be reasonably priced. The process of getting your certificate can be a few days as they want to make sure you're legit. One thing they wanted was my phone number listed with one of the big online directories. I did that then it took a while before it would show up in a search. Then they call you at that number as part of the process. If your phone is already published somewhere you may be OK. Mine wasn't.

KSoft has a signing app too that works great and the whole process can be configured in Inno Setup if you're using that. On Mac I've been using App Wrapper. Great app, great support. Sometimes I make my own installers for Mac just using a Livecode app with my app zipped and stored in a custom property.

One thing I have run into are people who've switched from PC to Mac. They don't always "get" disk images and will run the app off the disk image. Then think the app got deleted when the disk image is dismounted. I finally started putting a check in the startup routine to see where the app is running from and then alerting the user that it isn't installed correctly if it's from the disk image.

I must start to bite the codesigning bullet (groan).

There are two utilities to help with that. For Windows, we use a certificate purchased from ksoftware.net <http://certhelp.ksoftware.net/support/home>, and they have a utility that codesigns the app. I don't know if their app works with certs from other places, we just went with theirs.

For Mac we use App Wrapper from Ohanaware <http://www.ohanaware.com/appwrapper/>

Both of these are one-click solutions.
