I hate installshield express 3.5
After moving to xp, my old setups have a lot of problems. The most usual it is icons that doesn´t show as they should show (there is a tool with the name fixshortcuticon.exe that should solve this problem).
But also the registry options doesn´t work. And I´m not the only one who has this problem: http://community.installshield.com/archive/index.php?t-141674.html
And also, when you uninstall the software, sometimes the installation leaves some files on the destination directory...
My solution? Move to another setup creation tool (the one supplied with visual studio .net), and to solve this small problems, I have downloaded and installed the Orca tool. The problem of the not uninstalled files was caussed by a problem in the .ism database in the component view, that some files doesn´t have a correct ID. Changing this, and it seems to work, but you have to do this each time that you re-create the installation.
