Ask HN: What installer technology do you use

[halcy0n]

I've recently been tasked with blowing up our desktop applications' old Windows installation method and rebuilding anew. We've dabbled with Install Shield and WIX. I've had minimal experience with Install Shield which was overwhelmingly negative but I am genuinely unsure if that was because I inherited this terrible homunculus or if Install Shield is just a nightmare.

Is Install Shield worth sticking with? Is there something better out there?

Thanks -Hal

I used Qt installer framework.
