We have been using non-Windows Installer products to distribute our VFP =

applications. Our current product of choice is Setup Factory by Indigo =

Rose but we are looking to migrate to Inno Setup because we would like =

to mechanically generate our setups via script vs. manually via a GUI.

My anxiety about not using Windows Installer based technology is that =

Microsoft and/or major 3rd party vendors may(???) be maintaining an =

up-to-date library of MSI component files that reflects the VERY LATEST =

component enhancements from Microsoft and 3rd party vendors like =

Crystal. So by using the MSI merge modules tracked and maintained by =

these vendors, we would, in theory, always have access to the very =

latest release of each component.=20

Am I correct in this assumption? Or must one manually go out and look =

for the latest and greatest MSI merge modules for all the merge modules =

included in a setup?

Is there a web site/service that tracks the very latest release of major =

components from Microsoft, Crystal, Infragistics, DBI, etc?

Thanks!
