I can live with that. Occasionally the vfp setup requires a restart, anyway, this is nothing users haven't seen before. I'm still going to try putting two links in an email, one for the WSH and one for the vfp setup. They may have to restart and reopen Outlook/Exchange (possibly twice), but if it doesn't cause any other trouble, the users (and server admins) will really like it. I'll have to test it first, I've not done many setups from an email app, but I think these are both pretty lightweight installs. I'll request all other apps be closed, at least.

Note: we do have SMS here, but we also have a total mess of subnets, impossible to deal with, if you're wondering...
