well, you should investigate MSI scripts. they can do a bunch of that for you. Just put the MSI in a location, and have it reference where to get the stuff...
That's what we're doing. But they only exist for most of them. Sometimes people don't get around to writing them for some stuff. Sometimes they just can't. It's a mess. The written installation instructions are often slightly outdated. Whoever wrote them kept saying "double click on the Visio icon", meaning the folder, "when the Visio dialog prompts you", meaning when the folder is open, "double click on the setup.exe icon".
i've never done it, but some ridiculously high-paid windows weenie at work did it for all the standard software packages we use. might be something to look into!
Yeah, the guy who wrote the ones we do have probably put a lot of high-priced time in to it, but bless his high-priced heart, I say. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
