Irrelevant - Version: 8.0.28, 9/22/2006 01:56PM PST

Sorry, but like Allume's other StuffIt products, InstallerMaker has become irrelevant. There are much better alternatives out there, including InstallerVISE (which itself is starting to show cracks, but is still well above IM), VISE X (this is the way to from the MindVision product range) and Apple's PackageMaker. I think you'll find that precious few installers that appear on VersionTracker were created in InstallerMaker. It is still struggling to come out of the 90s, and we've all long since moved on.
Not at all ready for release

This is alpha software at best. It is littered with minor issues like text from one warning dialog getting carried over into later unrelated dialogs.
However, far worse are the functional bugs such as corrupting archives and complete failure of the copy function that seems core to an installer product.
Interface can't do better than "Average" because of the lack of any good scripting options. For anyone who thinks that I am missing Terminal or Applescripts, I am not... Compare to Installshield if you want to know why I say this.
Ease of use would be "High" or "Excellent" if only the design was considered. However, it is so unstable that it is horribly difficult to actually produce an installer with.

InstallerVISE (sorry, Aladdin) - Version: 8.0b1, 9/4/2003 09:53PM PST

I tried both InstallerVISE and Aladdin InstallerMaker when I was macsysadmin at a large corporation. Aladdin just didn't make the cut for various reasons. InstallerVISE is now tightly integrated with netOctopus which makes it a no-brainer:
