Thanks for the link. I will definitely look into it. We're very much aware of the installer issues. We updated to InstallShield Developer 7.0 because we had an upgrade subscription, and it was the latest and greatest technology, but we did not expect that it would be nearly as buggy as it is. It also has a really handy little tool for quickly making custom install panels, which is especially nice for all of us Java coders over here who only have a limited knowledge of win32 =).

We do have an alternate installer (the Nullsoft one) for the pro version, but we haven't built some of the more sophisticated installer functionality that's in the free version (custom panels, dynamic JRE download) into the Nullsoft one.

We may very well go back to the older version of InstallShield that works a heck of a lot better. We also may very well make some changes in the installer that will make all of this a bit easier.

Does the Inno Setup installer allow you to easily create custom panels, check the registry, etc?

Thanks very much again.
