>Hi George - Yes, that method sounds like it should work fine. OTOH, my current method works fine, too. I'm thinking it's a "take-your-pick" situation, no glaring advantage either way.

Hi Bruce,

In my case, what I've done is generated a VBScript file that not only knows when to copy a new version, but will also run a silent install to do something like install an SP. In fact, if the home directory is simply copied from one computer to another (user gets a new computer, for example) it knows to run the install so that the appropriate files get registered.
