I have a pretty huge web application developed using asp.net 3.5 and I need to prepare an installer package which will be using to deploy the application on IIS 6 and 7. I have done a lot of research on Wix and Installsheild 2010 (pro) and need some advice before making decision. I notice that the installsheild is quite expense in terms of license but for me, I have enough budget so that won't be an issue. the installer should be able to perform the following processes.
Deploy the published web resource (aspx etc).
Create Virtual Directory.
Create Database on sql server and run some initializing scripts.
Modify XML files and web.config files.
Set the permission to allow writing to the files in the virtual dir.
I found that both technologies are capable of doing the above scenarios but I would like to get personal experience and advices.
