This Wise InstallBuilder software seems to be pretty good. It appears to be able to do almost everything we need - getting info from the user, installing stuff in the appropriate places, editing the registry and INI file. The only problem I've encountered is this: When the installer software edits INI files, it expects the parameter names in each section to be unique. This is ok except for the windows extension dlls where the php.ini syntax is extension=php_nsmail.dll extension=php_calendar.dll etc. If I ask the Wise software to set multiple occurrences of extension, it just replaces the one it just wrote with the next one, so the ini file ends up with the final extension=whatever.dll line Any thoughts for a work around?
