Hi,
I've just started using installshield 11 as my company has decided that a professional install is the way forward!
Basically I need to check for running programs, install vb6 exes (moving to .net in the near future), get logon details for multiple SQL servers, generate registry keys and odbc connections and then run SQL scripts against existing databases based upon the logon details (and conditions) gathered.
Basically I need to know if MSI is the way forward?

MSI is a "newer" technology than InstallScript (see your cross-posts) and it's endorsed by Microsoft so in general I would use MSI for new projects. However there are a few things that InstallScript can do better than MSI, but that depends on your requirements.
