InstallShield Professional is more costly that Wise for Windows Installer, but is expense quickly dwindles if you intend to make the most of the program. InstallShield Professional is an excellent product, and in terms of features beats Wise for Windows Installer at every turn, and what's more, you end up with a professional finish. Unlike Wise for Windows Installer, if you delete a dialog, all traces of it will be removed, if you rename a component, you won't hit any problems either. All of these were issues with Wise. However, as its name suggests, this is a professional product, and you cannot expect to create a setup program in an hour - something that Wise excels in.
