Hi Bob, Maybe what I'm proposing is not a good use. But maybe you don't understand the context of the unique kind of software family I'm trying to install. How could you understand?
Sometimes there are good solutions that are different from what the designer of a tool might have planned. Sometimes there are just bad solutions. It's ultimately up to me. I appreciate the free, friendly advice, but I had a hard time getting a simple answer. The response could have been "Yes, here's how to do it, but I don't recommend". You mentioned self-extracting .exe tools. Are you referring to just a self-extracting zip exe? Or are there such tools that might also set up shortcuts, display a user agreement, and have an attractive appearance? Anything you could point me to?
