Me too, in a previous life. The challenge is to test your product (or 
just its setup) rather than testing MSI itself. We had an ongoing issue 
where the test was a simple "does the product run?" which meant that the 
setup devs were tier-1 support for every failure. Guess what? Most of 
the failures were in the product code, not the setup.

Yet another reason why centralized setup is risky.
