It's not a matter of the users being smart. It's a matter of you being courteous to the user's. Automated installs are standard on all professional applications. Not having one creates a certain impression in the mind of the user. In most cases, you will find more people complimenting you on including a C= standard installer than you will if you force them to use the CLI. (It's a big, changing market out there. It would be foolish to alienate a large segment just because you didn't want to spend half a day making an installer [heck, get some tester to do it…]. [I may portray the average user as being somewhat boorish and petulant, but trust me, it's closer to reality than we would all like to admit.] :^) Thanks, Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom
