[AccessD] Sage Key Purchase

Does SageKey build scripts for the MS Installer?  It wasn't very
scriptable when I stopped using it, so I may be behind the curve here,
but I found the MS Installer to be extremely stupid and inflexible.  I
switched when I discovered that it lacked the flexibility I needed and
that using it broke things on target machines running a different
version of Office from the runtime I was installing.

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).
