I asked some questions about Inno Setup and .NET Framework installation. Now I am thinking whether is it better to use Visual Studio Installer or Inno Setup?
Which of the two do you think is better and more functional for this type of problem, and in general which is better to use for installer creation?

Visual Installer is a setup tool that can be used to create installation programs and setup packages for the Microsoft Windows platform.
Inno Setup is a free software script-driven installation system created in Delphi by Jordan Russell. The first version was released in 1997.
In the Windows Start menu, you can search for "installer", and then select Visual Studio Installer from the results. If you have Visual Studio open, select Tools > Get Tools and Features..., which opens the Visual Studio Installer.
From Visual Studio, choose Extensions > Manage Extensions, and search for "Visual Studio Installer Projects". Or, download the extension directly from the Marketplace. From the Start window, choose Create a new project, and then type "setup" in the search box. Choose a Setup project, and follow instructions.
In general, Inno Setup is easier and more reliable, but if you must ship an MSI, use Visual Studio. See here for installing .NET with Inno.
