mysql - Is installshield suited in this scenario? -
the scenario company asked me find solution is,
- install mysql
- create users , grand privileges
- create database
- install multiple exe files
- 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.
