Mac Installers

Hi,
I have recently been asked to do a contract to create a couple of installers. Now these installers must mimic (as much as possible) there Windows counterparts. I have gotten them to agree to letting me at least make it as Mac like as possible. The problem is it needs to do some non-standard functionality within the installer. This software installation is for Hardware, so it must initialize the Hardware and gather information from the device and the user. It also must play required video at first and then an optional video at the end of the install. I also must be able to add Radio Buttons, Checkboxes, Popup menus, Buttons, text fields and static text. So I have been looking at installers but am not sure which one would be the best to use. I have looked at PackageMaker, Iceberg, Installer VISE, and InstallAnywhere. Packagemaker does not look like it will do what I need. But i m not sure about the others, I need to create several screens for the install that mimic the Windows installer.


Can anyone give me any direction on the best way to go. Unfortunately they are asking for an answer today ( I just talked to them last night :) ), so any help or direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott
