I would be happy to.
Give me a couple days to put a powerpoint presentation together that I
am going to use at my User Group meeting Thursday, and then I will post
it along with a sample script and a walkthrough of what it is and does.
I am happy to see the interest in the product - I am the self-appointed
evanglist for Inno SetUp in the Fox World!
