Hi friends,

I want an Installer which I can use to install my windows application and an Outlook Add In.
VS2012 doesnt ship MSI Installer any more... I have used InstallShield, But It doesn't seem to be good, and sometimes crashing at the user's side. Is there any Good Installer that I can use...

Solution 2

If your installation is crashing it's because you're doing something wrong in your installer, not with InstallShield. After using it to build a few thousand installations, I can say that it's really stable.
