free windows installer

I have found a lot of programs to make an installation package for .net application but non of them meet my requirements.

I'm looking for a free application which is able to create installation and uninstallation package and is able to check if net framework and sql 2008 Redistributable is installed if not applic开发者_StackOverflowation should be able to install them first and then start application installation process

Take a look at Wix.

It is free, but the initial learning curve may be a little bit harder then other programms. The output of WiX is a *.msi package.

I recommend Inno Setup - I compared it once with NSIS and found it more usable. It suports scripting, and you will find example scripts for installation of .NET and other redistributables through the search engine of your choice.

Did you try installer, that is shipped with visual studio? If it is very simple, try Wix. Aslo, consider NSIS.

Or Windows Installer?

If you have Visual Studio installed then you can simply create a setup project within your solution. If not, then download from the above link (or fine the appropriate version to download) and utilise the set creation application manually.
