Agreed, unfortunately no amount of arguing on my parts going to make much head way :( ... atleast in the short term anyway. What's more confusing is I introduced it just as part of internal automated deployment for test rigs and was thinking once its had the rough edges smoothed off then it can be used on customer systems, so I don't see what there is to lose just doing it properly from the start (unless it hurrendously impacted internal development + testing, which I don't think it was so ... :: shrugs ::). >There has never been a case where I sat down and thought, "Oh, batch file would be a good solution in an installation package." >Actually, finding an installation package that has a batch file in it would only encourage me to return the product for a refund. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
