I currently use the the free GP-install. It messes up often.
I need something that works and isn't messed up.

I use the installer that comes with Visual Studio 2005 - works great for my needs. There is also
Inno Setup: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
IsTool (GUI to Inno): http://www.istool.org/
ZupMaker: www.zupmaker.com
Deploy Master: http://www.deploymaster.com
AWinStall: http://www.awinstall.com/moreinfo.html
There is probably tons more.

Based on their screenshots, I'd probably never use that. Not having scripting is both a blessing and a curse. For me, I'd rather have clear scripting and the control that goes with it.

You could write you own installer using the Zlib dll.
That's what I did.

How long does it take for the windows installer to install?
The installer I wrote takes a few seconds to install a program.

I'm fond of zero-install software myself. Unzip and run.

This thread is so old :D
Anyway I used to use 7-zip self-extracting archives instead of installers. 7z has a better compression ratio than zip, and they're pretty nice little packages.

I admit I use IZArc self extractor. Very nice options in it.
More options then 7zip.
After unzipping the archive, the IZArc sfx calls my setup.exe.
Which extracts to location, does configuration and install the shorcuts.

Lately, I've grown very fond of apt-get.
