Thanks for the reply Craig. I posted a similar question in the .NET section a long time ago and noone answered so when this thread came around I just thought I would ask.
I fully agree with your answer. Installing it separately is "easy" so now I've just got to find a good URL that can tell me how to make it part of the app install.

Thanks,
Einar
