I think Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/) is nice.

I vote for NSIS too. Feature complete, nice, tiny, cross platform, free.

Definately NSIS. I just recently had to decide upon an installer for a commercial app I was creating. NSIS was really small, free, really powerful, and looks very professional. One downside is you'll need to learn how to write out the script that tells the installer how to act, but the plus side is with the script you can do LOTS of things.

If you go with NSIS, using NIS Edit could help you create the first version of your installer automatically. Then you can tweak the created .nsi file if needed.

I'd vote for NSIS too. After years of using Installshield in my day job NSIS is a breeze. Really couldn't be easier. And theres a nice IDE. If you want a quick script for generating your install just drop us a line.

I use NSIS also and it is very easy to get up to speed on.

Cross platform? Not if your definition of cross platform is "platforms other than Windows". B-)

The Loki Installer is available: http://www.icculus.org/loki_setup/

It works across many UNIX-based platforms.
