You're running into four things: 1. A bug in validation code that doesn't correctly handle errors thrown from the validator. 2. Light runs validation by default. 3. Validation is a form of installation. 4. Installation requires elevation except for packages marked as per-user-only. Obviously, we can fix #1 and I think there's already a bug or two open on it. For #2, you can suppress it with the -sval switch, though you lose the benefits of validation. I'm not sure #3 and #4 are fixable, unfortunately. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
