See http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php I've found NSIS to be a much better choice for Windows installers. Produces very small installers (adds about 30-40K overhead, can use LZMA), has multiple language support, and are simple to write.

When I looked a while ago NSIS was overly complex compared to INNO given the same task. I use INNO to install the pysvn extension and it was easy to do. See http://svn.collab.net/repos/pysvn/trunk/pysvn/Extension/Kit/Win32/pysvn.iss
