Yeah, one would figure that creating an InstallShield script to copy a
couple of dll's, an executable and some html files somewhere would take a

Well, I consider myself semi-intelligent and I spent a day on it and the
only thing I accomplished was to get frustrated enough that I put a hole
in my wall smashing my head against it.
