[AccessD] Sage Key Purchase

Hi Gustav,
I don't know. I have Wise and know how to use it so I haven't tried out MS
Installed. But, if history serves any purpose their product is not as good
as one that is purchased from a third party.

IIRC they developed that in cooperation with Install Shield. Which, if
correct begs the question, why would Install Shield still be selling their
own products?

Once again for clarification - I don't know.

Hi William et all

Why do you need Wise or similar? Isn't the MS installer fine? Then all you
need is the SageKey script for this.

..in your situation with hundreds of small/moderate business users where you
have no control over the environment I'd definitely go with Wise/Sage ..I
use the VSTO because I refuse to work any longer in environments where I
don't control it (semi-retirement lets you get away with things like

that).
