Bob, From my POV, I'd say that having the option on should be the default, but allow for it to be disabled. I don't know if it is a good idea or not... but it might also be nice to have a way to disable the option easily for multiple files, but not necessarily all files, in a WiX fragment - I.e.

This vbs is meant to be run by windows installer. You can't just double click it - windows installer defines 'Property' as a member of it's global object. This is a feature of windows script hosts - they can register an object to act as the set of 'globals' for the hosted script. Kelly
