This is impossible to force I think, unless you mean for installers not running from admin / power user accounts. In fact I'd be voting for such thing cause the various installers arround currently do system hell BTW, in Vista there's no Windows help by default installed, but only HTML help, so for older apps' help to work correctly, one has to download an additional module (luckily it autoinstalls via the OS help system which explains the issue - the question is how much size would it take to install it by default? Maybe they want to eventually avoid maintaining it security-wise when it practically disappears and to minimize the attack surface of the default OS installations [which are the most percent arround I suppose]). Tried it with Vista beta2 though, maybe in final version of the OS they put it in by default ---------------- George Birbilis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Computer & Informatics Engineer Microsoft MVP J# for 2004-2006 Borland "Spirit of Delphi" 3D, QuickTime, QTVR, Java, Delphi, ActiveX, .NET components, Robotics http://www.kagi.com/birbilis http://birbilis.spaces.live.com _____ avast!
