Advanced Installer - a great tool for software deployment
I like how easy it is to customize my installs, from specifying the target folder to adding an icon for my installer, to much more complex things like registry edits/adds, build types, prerequisites, and many, many more features. I also like the Update feature, which makes it easy to deploy updates to my existing customers.
