Here at Digi, for Linux, we use BitRock InstallBuilder.
Its not free, unless your project is Open Source, but it is reasonably priced.

Thanks for the reply.

We currently use NSIS for our Windows installer which is great, however, we now need to deploy our software to Unix-type operating systems such as Linux.

If anyone else has some suggestions then please come forward.

Cheers.

Hi pgg1:

I use ubuntu and debian on different boxes.
I use nsis in linux only for compatibility the users of Window. But NSIS is made for Win32 environments.

You can try to use NSIS + Wine, at least you can correctly the binaries (executables). For the creation of the installers in *nix environments is a totally different thing. Because the functions and methods are made for....yeah...Win32...

Just keep in mind of this.
