Hi Thomas, I am not positive that my games need to go into the program files x86 folder. And I am not sure why they did. But that did explain why people were installing my games and finding nothing but the game of life. But yes, I plan to put that bit of help up on my site. BFN -

Hi Shaun, Smile. Are you kidding? Since when does Microsoft give good stuff away for free? In answer to your question Microsoft's Advanced Setup Installer is a commercial product. Not only do you have to buy it the software is fairly expensive. It comes packaged with the Pro/Enterprise versions of
