Hi all,

I have read a little over the installers for Qt applications: NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page), WiX, InstallJammer (http://www.installjammer.com/), Installer framework from Qt Labs (http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-labs/installer-framework), etc. I need find a good open source multiplatform GUI installer that works in Linux and Windows. Is InstallJammer the best choice?

Regards.

Define what you mean by "best choice" exactly.

NSIS is not multiplatform. The tools can run on Linux, but you can only create Windows installers with them (helpful when doing cross-compilation of Windows programs on a Linux host using MinGW).
