InstallAware creates Windows Installer MSI setups with easy MSIcode scripting.

InstallAware will automatically convert your conditionally flowing MSIcode script into a legal Windows Installer MSI database at build time.
The InstallAware MSI installer builds sophisticated, visually appealing setups with support for the latest technologies, including IIS, Microsoft/Oracle/MySQL database servers, Web Updates, Partial Web Deployment, DIFx Driver installs, Vista, 64bit, and one-click installation of complex application runtimes like Microsoft SQL Server Express 2005 with Service Pack 1.

InstallAware is first to market with an IDE targeting Microsoft's open source WiX platform. WiX is used internally by Microsoft teams to build world-class installers such as Microsoft Office. Until today, WiX remained hard to use, as it did not provide a GUI but only command line tools. Now with the new WiXAware IDE by InstallAware, you too can use the same technology that Microsoft teams internally use to build software installers.
Create or update MSI (Windows Installer) based installers for files, registry etc using an XML like script. Can use in automated builds (NMAKE, ANT, NANT builds etc).

Has extensive documentation and a large user group.
MSIDIFF is freeware to compare or disassemble Windows Installer databases (a "MSI to TEXT" utility). While it is a command line based tool, the installer creates shell extensions so that the decompile operations can be invoked by right clicking on a file in Explorer. The output can be processed by my MAKEMSI tool to automate the change in future.
