Quinton,
As richard said I referred to the product's installer that Patterns and
Practices provides: Enterprise Library, Smart Client Software Factory, Web
Client Software Factory, etc.
And with "doesn't register the product" I mean, Suppress: RegisterProduct,
RegisterUser, PublishProduct, PublishFeatures. So the installer don't leave
trace of that.

Quinton,
If you haven't encountered it, Microsoft's Patterns and Practices group
provides a great set of resources.
The entry point for all the information is (assuming I still have the
right shortcut in my browser favorites)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/practices/default.aspx
Since I can't see any specific information about installing samples I
assume Brian is referring to the way the samples available from that site
are packaged.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Richard

That sounds like a complete way to go. When you say "samples.msi doesn't
register the product", do this mean that it can't really be uninstalled or
repaired – it's just a fire-and-forget install. I'm not clear on what all
the necessary steps would be from a standard install that I'm accustomed to
doing to make it behave in this fashion.
I think that for my project, I'll stick putting them in Program Files for
now; it's one less step for the user. The shortcut suggested by Richard
makes it much more palatable to me.
Also, what are you referring to by "Microsoft Patterns & Practices"? Is
there a specific public document that outlines this?
Thanks!
