I can recommend Inno Setup, it does take some study, but it's free (even for commercial use) and can tackle difficult setups. Till now I haven't encountered a situation which couldn't be solved using Inno Setup.

Inno Setup[^]

Example for Access:

See my tip for an example with SQL Server:

Another installer that might be more interesting to you is SSE Setup:
SSE Setup - Introduction[^]

It promises "Easy Access database deployment".
I tried this several years ago (not with Access), and found it to be very user friendly.
But for my needs and the complicated nature of the software I write it was too limited, as the author states "NOT some complicated scripting language!", and this is exactly the weak point compared to Inno Setup which has a Pascal scripting language.
