It's nearly 2012 and I'd much rather use C# and DTF. Perhaps in 1999 those VBScript files were interesting and useful. I can understand the msi.h / msi.lib is still good for the unmanaged C++ guys out there and is certainly the foundation for DTF but the whole VBScript / ActiveScript / COM / Automation Interface world can RIP for all I care. Same goes for the POS Win32_Product class.
