I would say it would be best to set the minimum to a version lower than you ever released (0.0.1) to start with - and yes, I would include it. Start as you intend to finish. By the way, versions of msi files do not have a 4th portion, and will go from 0.0.0 up to 255.255.32767. --Curtis -- Curtis Jewell swords...@csjewell.fastmail.us %DCL-E-MEM-BAD, bad memory -VMS-F-PDGERS, pudding between the ears [I use PC-Alpine, which deliberately does not display colors and pictures in HTML mail] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
