Why PA needs 2 installers (msi and InnoSetup)?

Why you don’t want to make only one setup: MSI ? :rolleyes:

regards,

InnoSetup is easier, faster and better for end user. MSI is only important if you are deploying over multiple computers (and even then InnoSetup is simpler).

To actually make an SFX MSI (installshield or similar), it would end up being much larger than Inno Setup. While with .msi files, you might have comptability issues on some computers.

In fact, on my computer I have several MSI setups that dont want to uninstall anymore (several different applications), which makes an huge mess.

So to sum it up, for normal user, InnoSetup is much more effective than MSI. Only reason to use MSI is because some administrators are used to it when deploying PowerArchiver on hundereds/thousands of computers.

Inno Setup is smaller.

Never tried Nullsoft.

We are using InnoSetup for a quite long time. It has been very stable and easy to use so far and has nice support for many languages.

We also have MSI installations available for our registered users.

Last time we checked, Inno Setup overall looked the best and performed the best, out of all Installers we checked - commercial or free. And since we have been using it for a long time, it is definetly our installer or choice.
