don't hold your breath :) But I concur, implementing the RPC APIs, including the DCOM specific ones, will fix it eventually. Now that I have an actual working test, I can continue work on the actual implementation side. But first I want to do some more cabextract stuff, since it appears that it's not 100% working yet. > The current implementation should be capable of doing that too. > > > Why exactly does an installer require such complex parts of OLE > > anyway?

And since RPC is available for basically every MS OS out there, and even non-MS platforms, it's easy to see how they came to the decision to use it. -- gmt "Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom." --Albert Einstein
