I usually use INNO setup...but after seeing this installer I might be changing...
The problem is this; if you have a lot of files and directories in your setup (for example: 2000)
how can you add them to your project all at once, without adding each file/directory manually, and taking a long time doing so?
There must be a simple way and much better, how can you do this...?
I also used to use Setup Factory 6.0 and I loved the way it
did this automatically for you, but the problem with that app is that the final installer is way too big...
Is there a way to do this in NSIS? If not, then you should try to incoporate this feature in the next version.
