In my day job, I work with a ~9GB installer on two DVDs. We have an 800MB download demo but it's a self-extractor for download. Enough products require a setup.exe chainer or other form of bootstrapper that wrapping an .msi and .cabs together isn't a big problem. > Just thought I'd throw out that point, such that the Installer team can > keep that > in consideration.

But you can send feature requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and MSI team members see them. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
