Customers may vary. My customers are not computer inclined at all and 90% of time don't have IT backup. They are mechanical technicians who often who don't know the first thing about computers. If the installer doesn't work they can't do their job. The PC is an annoying tool they have to use

In this case the code is valid, as Windows Update uses the MSI Installer as the main method of distribution, so I tend to disagree in this case. Carter Quoting Pally Sandher : > BRB, doing that on every machine across the planet. > > This just in, WiX error codes != Microsoft error codes. >
