Thanks for the clarification Christopher!
It was my (apparently inaccurate) understanding that most SMS users
preferred using MSI's directly (and managing dependencies themselves)
because of the risks associated with a bootstrapper potentially doing
something that could not easily be repared and/or removed at a later
date. (I'm guessing that is the "nicer" operation you describe.:-) )
Regards,
Richard

Actually SMS can push support files like bootstappers out with the msi
to the distribution points and invoke them as part of their package
definition. In fact, SMS doesn't really even require MSI's although
MSIs generally behave nicer.
