Bob at emailed to remind me that the has patching built in, and costs less than InstallShield plus vBuild.

He also pointed out that now has a ton of features for server setups: user account creation, IIS administration, and SQL Server administration… basically they implemented my entire wish list from working on the FogBUGZ 3.0 installer. Good work!

Using patching technology saves a lot of bandwidth, even for the first-time installer, because a lot of the bytes you’re distributing may be system files and runtimes that users already have.

For now, Michael convinced me to stick with the tried-and-true for the next release of CityDesk. The bandwidth savings don’t quite justify the effort of switching installers.
