Sorry, but (and I usually am not a big fan of MS' software) I've yet to see a problem with MSI. Had much more trouble with other installers, Ghost for example. -- Dierk Haasis The Bat 2.11.04 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 Chat info for ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Jabber upon request Jede gute Tat zieht ihre Bestrafung nach sich.
