That's totally understood and for that the more i appreciate your work, support and responsiveness. > For example the nterface to GroupWise and > Exchange servers is kinda flaky, and I would much like to solve those > problems before uploading fresh builds. I assume you use IMAP or POP > for reading mail, and SMTP for sending? Yes (IMAP&POP/SMTP). First trying to get this up and running (primary focus on IMAP) before i will step forward to exchange/groupwise testing Exchange testbeds are available to me, for Groupwise i have to prepare fresh installations. But it can be accomplished if i manage to get installation media for groupwise testing environment. We own/hold storage space and comupting ressources for 'playgrounds'.

This works nicely, > but is a kind of barebones solution. I think I would start in similar manner. Just set up an initial deployment tree, automate the generation of that tree form binary-zips/check-out then of WiX files and then add the 'bells and whistles' to make the MSI more comfortable and problem aware one after another. I am not an WiX Expert, but I am on my way....(it's a long road though) =;-) Would be a nice new challenge to augment my knowledge on this.
