>MS is making this stuff easier. Take a look at the Admin stuff in Win2K. This makes your job as a corporate developer LOTS easier. You'll be able to push this stuff out to the desktop and specify it get installed only where you want.

Craig,

If we were running Win2K, sure, but we're not. Supposedly, we will in the future, but when that'll occur, who knows? Unfortunately, it's not up to me. A new machine, pre-loaded with Win 98 or Win2K comes in now, they blow off the entire setup, and install Win95B (they've got a license so this is legal). Hell, I've been arguing for 5-7 years to dump Lotus. In going from release 5 to 97, a bunch of my stuff (using DDE from 2.6) and other peoples macros broke. Was that enough to get them to switch? Nope, so I'm not hold my breath on this. In the meantime, I've still got to get this stuff out. And I doubt that I'm alone in this type of situation.
