Hi,
thanks for the Service Pack. However I can't stop myself from commenting on
this:

Ahem... Softimage Service Packs have _always_ been full installers and it
was always possible to install them side-by-side. It should simply install
into *Autodesk/Softimage 2015 SP1.*
IMO everything else makes it borderline impossible to do a roll out in a
production environment. I'm having a hard time understanding why the effort
was made to change this installation behaviour at all.

Yes, please. This is absolutely needed.
Thanks, Martin
