What do you guys use to build your installation packages? I am zipping my project right now but would like to have an actual installer (and prefer one that does not issue false-positives to AV software like my zips do.)
Thanks!
I’m not familiar with the tool for Windows, but with developer tools on a Mac comes with a piece of software called “PackageMaker” and it is used for just that: making installer packages.
On Mac, you don’t make an installer, you just make a DMG that people run your app directly from (or drag-drop it into the Applications folder). Or publish via the Mac App Store.
On Windows I use WIX.
For windows Inno setup is pretty straightforward, and has been pretty reliable.
Thanks for the info. Right now I’m trying Advanced Installer for Windows and it works pretty well. It’s free as long as you do a “simple” install package. I also downloaded Inno to try out.
