Folks, I stayed out of this thread since I started the same subject awhile back, but I just wanted to reiterate just one thing... All of these arguments (everything or minimalist or whatever) could have easily been resolved if total flexibility was given in the installation program in the first place. For example: 1) Different templates for different configuration choices, for exanple, "Typical", "Custom", "MyChoices" 2) All item selection functionality should be given. For example: shift-key for item X through item X+n, Control-Key for single-item (de)selections. These used in combination with the mouse selections as well. Then there should be a "select all items", "Deselect All Items" so that you and select all items and deselect items you dont want or "deselect all items" and select items you want. The point is, give the installer conplete flexibility and stop worrying about the (in)ability of the installer to make sensible installation choices. If this were an issue on the part of the installer, then you can possibly do an automatic list installation such as the "MyChoices" template and the interactive selections would remain hidden unless there was a conflict resolution that is required to resolve it. That's all I am going to say for now. Dan
