How reliable is Advanced Installer? [closed]

I am trying to use Advanced Installer as an application installer and auto-updater. Most of the resources is available on Advanced Installer website only.

Have any one used it before? I would like to hear more about bugs / stability issues if there are, especially auto-update feature

Regarding the bug/stability issues, you can see from the release history the frequency on auto-updater bug fixes (six this year - four in v9.2 and one each in v9.1.1, v9.0.1 and v9.0).

What I've noticed is that occurring issues are promptly solved.

I posted earlier the following:

I have used the free version of Advanced Installer, including its auto-update feature, and I have not experienced any problems with it.

Please note that I was talking about the ability of Advanced Installer MSI scripts to automatically remove older files when upgrading to a newer version of a program. I was not talking about the ability of the application to check for an update automatically. That's probably not in the free feature-set.
