Hi Guys,

long time no see. We recently bought a company and I've been tasked with
creating an installer for their products. oh joy.

One thing they wish to do is use the installer to do all the work a
config tool could. So during installation we want to collect servers and
port numbers and test the connection to them all. I've managed to
collect all the info i need and added it to the registry etc but I'm
struggling with testing the connection to these servers. I'm happy to
just us ping, but the only way i can see to do it is to embed ping.exe
in the installer and call it with customactions. I've not really tried
this yet so I'm not sure if it will even work but it still seems a bit
of a rubbish way to do it. I'd like to avoid writing any custom code if
i could as I'm in a hurry to bang this out and move on.

Any ideas?
