You don't need to do an install at all for the binaries if you aren't going to run named. You might need to run the vcredist_x86.exe to get the Microsoft redistributable binaries for the compiler but that's all that is really needed. Running the installer is a waste of time for this. If it requires the service install just for the tools then that's a bug. Danny > > With the 9.9.0 release just around the corner, perhaps this could be > considered for 9.9.1. > > > > Jeffry A.
