Hi, To be perfectly honest I haven't really looked for anything else and unless people can come up with a reason for not using WIX it is likely the one I will use. Why? Mainly for 2 reasons: 1. This is the one I am most familiar with (ie been reading about it for a long time) 2. I have been meaning for a long time to actually try using WIX. I guess this is my chance =p. Now does this mean it is the right tool to use for Boost? Hell no!!! But as I said unless there are good reasons for not using it I will probably just stick with this one. Although if other people have already started something else I am happy to contribute =p. Peter.

I know that several Open Source projects use the NSIS installer.

You should perhaps have a look on that one as well.
