Because it's a) Easily scriptable for any msi file for automated installation b) Allows use/creation of merge modules for easy bundling of software - something Jean-Michel is extremely keen on. c) The standard, preferred installation method in XP/2K/2003 d) Can use/create advertising shortcuts with central network installations e) Handles file conflicts/version issues properly f) Manages file reference counting centrally g) Supports rollback of partial/failed installations h) Supports application repair as well as complete reinstall Regards, Dave. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
