What about a server that has no browser installed ? Most company servers run with strict security pocilies. If you need a program on a server that has to run only once, do some internet communication and deletes itself, you would have to ask the system admin very time to give you the information, which can take a long time just waiting for the info. I frequently have this problem with a remote communication program (No, not hacking but helpdesk...)
