mysql - Is installshield suited in this scenario? -


the scenario company asked me find solution is,

  1. install mysql
  2. create users , grand privileges
  3. create database
  4. install multiple exe files
  5. run 3-4 sql scripts.

ok saw installshield features, looking @ nsis option company dont care if buy installshield or use free 1 dropped options, after 2-3 hours of researching found installshield best.

but have 0 experience in field , cant tell sure if installshield can meet needs or if im overthinking scenario , there simple solution.

any advise appriciated.

i recommend not go installshield. better go wix (windows installer xml).

in our company used installshield msi-project half decade , it's pain. when try demo-version looks nice , polished more , more requirements start notice there many bugs , using installscript custom actions bring in 90s.

the syntax of wix (which pure xml) confusing , hard read in first time it's have makros , variables can use in markup on side.

you can write custom actions in c# , therefore able use existing code creating users , grant privileges.
