I have a D5 app that I am upgrading to D2007. I will be using IBX and
probably DBX (maybe ADO) and need to find a middle of the road install tool.
In the past with D5 we used Wise Install Builder. I need a little bit of
flexibility to put some stuff in the scripts like I could with WIB, but it
doesn't need to be Enterprise level. I would also like it to work well with
Delphi and be able to install the packages I need (IBX, DBX, ADO).

I looked at InstallAware that comes with Delphi and I see DB Express 4 in
there, but nothing about IBX (I'm not really sure what is needed to deploy
IBX) and nothing about ADO, though maybe I missed something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can tell you that Inno Setup is a very nice tool if MSI is not in your
requirement list. As far as deploying an app using IBX, you don't need
anything if you do not build with run-time package dependencies. You
will need gds32.dll for IB connectivity, which Inno could place in the
proper place if you want it to.

IBX and ADO compile into your EXE. There is nothing to distribute.
