Hi Dave...
=20
What about a different approach...Just an option to ignore checking depende=
ncies
for the remainder of this setup run.

Then you run through an uninstall everything you want and just rerun setup
in case there are any loose ends.
=20
You could have whatever mechanism you want to enable it from the gui.

You could have a switch for it too.
