InstallRite Alternatives / clone software installations?

[stay]

i need an alternative for installrite (http://www.epsilonsquared.com/). it seems to make a good job, but using wine at linux it's not running like it should, so i'm looking for alternatives - freeware prefered but commercial ons are also ok (in hope that they offer a working trial version).

I use either InstallWatch, but that's the same engine as InstallRite or Regshot + Syslog or Fingerprint.

InstallWatch uses some of the MS DAO 350 database runtime. Without them it won't fully work.

I don't know how you install it on Linux. If you just copy your InstallRite Folder from Windows to Linux, You won't have the DAO files and hence it won't fully work.

You can try to simply copy the following files into Install Rite Folder (They are not all needed but I don't know now which ones are compulsory) :

dao2535.tlb

Dao350.dll

Msjet35.dll

Msjint35.dll

Msjter35.dll

Vbar332.dll

Vbajet32.dll

Msrd2x35.dll

If Wine supports COM, you've got a chance it will work.

installrite creates a sfx archive, however it seems that wine has problems with the amount of data unpacked by the sfx archive. will have a look at installwatch in some time, thanks for your reply
