I have come across an unusual situation, at least it is a situation 
that I have not come across in the past 10 years of doing this EDI 
thing.

I purchased a certain software and upon receiving the software, the 
installation instructions for this software was not included. It did 
include a LOT of advertising for their other offerings, but nothing 
on the installation of the product. I thought this was quite odd 
since even extrememly simple programs include some kind of 
installation instructions.
I contacted the sales rep on many occasions asking to receive the 
installation instructions. When that was refused, I asked the rep to 
verify what the current version of this software was supposed to be 
so that I could verify that I have received the current version. That 
also has been refused.

This is what I have been offered, I can purchase 10 hours of support 
so that they can install it for me (what happens when I have system 
failure as I did just recently and had to replace my HDD??) or I can 
receive a refund for the purchase. I am obviously going to request a 
refund, the software is useless to me without being able to install 
it.

Has anyone else come across a company that will not provide software 
version or installation instructions without paying $2,000 in 
unneeded support? Or have I just been spoiled by Sterling Commerce, 
Inovis, etc that they actually provide installation instructions as 
well as the software version that you have received?

Thanks!!
