Here's the deal,

I want to install my fav apps, for now I really want LClock and Y'z Shadow, and maybe talisman later on down the road for the desktop GUI, but what installer works best.

I want an installer that installs in a nice GUI, however, supports silent installs without user interaction, yet, I want it to execute early on, like before first load of Windows, before the startmenu, taskbar appearance, ex: RunOnce. But I've heard of so manu installers, I'm mind boggled, plus I'd like the GUI to look professional. I've heard of xplode or whatever it was, but can't really figure it out.

Thanks in advance!

AutoIt now supports Gui so you could make the interface look professional and execute the setup with switches.

Man, why not trying them all in real situation, and choose later the one you like best?

Look at this thread.

Use VMware to test and your possibilities are endless.
