That's right, but it contains a wizard (don't know its quality) and 
since I use VB to write my software in, I also coded a Wizard that 
imports a VB-Project into Inno Setup.
But I don't think that the "Inno Setup Script" language is too hard to 
learn. You just have to create a template and then fill in all the 
necessary information. I recommend trying it.

I don't think so - Well, at least I don't think ANY java software would 
come in handy due to the fact that the Java engine scans all installed 
fonts (and that are over 5000 on my PC) on every start of a Java-Program 
which causes not the machine to slow down, but the program to start 
approximately 5 minutes after I double clicked the Icon.

When writing Cross-Platform-Software I suggest using Object Pascal 
(Delphi style) or C++.
