I don¹t know if a script can replace itself, but one variant on this theme, if we¹re not worried about older releases, is to change 4.14 so the build.xml has an install target that downloads the installer.xml and then runs it. Folks would then run ³ant install² instead of ³ant -f installer.xml². It is another download so it exposes us to another potential point of failure and lag for slow networks, but gives you the ability to tweak the install after releasing. -Alex
