Is there any tool similar to Ant Installer?

If you mean yet another ugly free open source installer - IzPack

Personally I recommend commercial one - install4j. 

I worked with InstallShield Multiplatform, InstallAnywhere and Install4J. Install4J is the best.

 

Any open source installer such Ant Installer, IzPack etc are thousand miles far from commercial.

If you must have free installer better to go like Eclipse - no installer distribution.

Hi,

There is a large knowledge base at Tikal utilizing AntInstaller so I would opt for that in case it is an option.

 

With respect to commercial products, InstallAnywhere is one of the best tools available and again several Tikal employees can help you with that too.
