>>Hi All,

You too critical Dragan :) Its a good product with both extensive GUI interface but also the ability to script at any point for those who have special requirements. Basically I don’t have any special need iro install package but I'm just trying to figure out this one issue. I think all in all its a good product with many features that ease the building of an install package easily.
