I totally agree :) Instead a person must use the script's actions as a reference point and install himself those programs manually. Thus you can learn something too. It is not only difficult to troubleshoot if something goes wrong, but also if your customers want something which is not possible to achieve with the script. Then you would also be in trouble since you wouldnt know how to install any of these programs.
I often had similar problems with windows admins :) They press Next button and it works. Then when there is a problem, they absolutely have no idea of how things work, so they cant figure out any solution at all, they try to format windows and reinstall everything though everytime when there is a problem :) Evren On Wed, 13 Aug 2003, Charles Sprickman wrote: > On Wed, 13 Aug 2003, jeff thomas wrote: > > > Ok...
