I think the more features and examples you can show, the better. Generic code is great, because people can learn the concept and then modify as required.

>Not a bad idea, Gonz. It'd be pretty generic, however. I've thought that it might be a good idea to add some code to it so that it would automatically do a new install when, say, there was a new SP that required it. Haven't done it yet, however, but it is simple enough to modify.

>>>I use the Windows Script Host (WSH) and VBScript as a loader program. It's like a batch file on steriods, but it's Windows. What it does is compare the date/time of the local file with that of the same file on the server. If the one on the server is more recent, it's copied locally. The script then runs the local file. I'd be happy to post a sample of such a script if you'd like.
