Hi, I wrote a CA for handling this, please check out http://madbutcher.dyndns.org/snippets/SQLMsiCA If you browse to the code you'll understand what problems you will encounter if you want to build your own CS :) There are some more issues that 32/64 bits if you are on a network with SQL2000 and SQL2005/2008/2010 combinations, especially when one ore more SQL2000 instances are hidden. About the last one even Microsoft hasn't got an answer (scan the MSDN forum for it if you're interested in the problems) Best regards, Albert van Peppen Senior System Engineer Insad Grafisch b.v.
