Apart from using .NET Setup Project, which is the right

product to develop an "Install shield" for the .NET application?

We have tried using "Install Shield for Microsoft Visual C++ 6", which has

limitation (possibly could be because of an evaluation copy or product

limitation) for defining

1) Subcomponents,

2) Selective Component installation

3) Making a single installable

4) Executing another setup or application) as an dependency, etc.

Please let us know the "right tool" to use for the same.

Wise Installer will take care of what you need, however for .net, i prefer
the .net installer. It allows you to use the Custom Actions Editor, to do
what you want when, and the file types editor to assoc ext w/ your app.
Pretty neat, but it's your call.
