Graham,

which installer are you using?

I am using tool from Monte called InstallGadget. This tool uses the free 
Innosetup under the hood and allows to create intallers by drag and drop.
As this tools is quite old, i updated the Innosetup stuff inside the 
InstallGadget folder.

So in any case you are using an other installer than Innosetup, give Innosetup 
a try.
