Freeware Install Shield type thing available?

**SimonMallion** · May 21st, 2001

Does anybody know if there are any freewware InstallShield-type programs available, eg something where you can choose the installation path, and also modify autoexec.bat and registry?

Thanks for your input.

Though honestly I've never used it myself, Nullsoft (the makers of Winamp) have their Pimp Installer system available for free use. I don't know if it'll do everything you'd like, however. I hope that's at least marginally helpful.

That website for NSIS (Nullsoft SuperPiMP Installlation System) doesn't get updated often, here's the more current one:
