I would vote for make vital true by default with the option of setting it off via the command line. I have never really thought there are many occasions when making a file optional would be ok. I would guess that a lot of installs (mine included) don't set this but that clicking "ignore" would actually break the install.

You can see the post here: http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/05/03/rfc-vitality/ The short version is that we're considering marking all files with the msidbFileAttributesVital bit set by default. That's a behavior change and we wanted to get feedback before deciding either way. Please read the whole post and let us know what you think, either via blog post comments or mail on this list. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
