"I don't know what this cdk.exe thing is doing." --------------------- ---- USER TYPE B ---- "I know how to run cdk.exe." "I don't know how to install just with tar and gzip." (i.e. registry settings, env. vars, etc.) --------------------- Most users will be a bit of both types. IMHO the way to keep both sides happy is to document exactly what InstallShield is doing. If you can get it to produce a detailed log of it's activities, that should suffice. -- Ed Avis - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
