First of all, make sure your not re-inventing the wheel.

There are currently some commercial products:

InstallAnywhere Zero G (Java based)
JExpress from DeNova (Java based)

And an open source projects:

InstallBase MPI (C & TCL based)

I am sure there are more of these in each area, this is all I could remember quickly.

Also C#/.NET really is not the best language to write cross-platform software yet. Unless you are talking across multiple Windows platforms since Windows is the only OS that has full support for the .NET Framework at this time. There is a UNIX/Linux port in process called the Mono Project. However they have a lot of work to do still before it is finished. I have not heard anything about a MAC .NET Framework yet.

Right now the only true "write once, and run 'almost' anywhere" is Java. C/C++ is also good if you stick to ANSI standards, and keep any platform specific code modular. Then you have pretty much "write once, and compile many times, then run on those compiled platforms". Other than C/C++ or Java there is not popular cross-platform language right now.

So if you have looked at those products and your idea has something they done, either open source versions of the commercial ones, or some newer or better than the existing open source ones. I would say go for it in Java or C/C++.

If not, then you may want to just use one of the ones listed or if you do some searching you may find more that are even better than those.

And remember -- Anything is possible, if you don't give up.
