I havn't used IExpress yet, but will play with it now that I am aware of it. I use the SMS Installer to do this. I find it very powerfull, and some tasks are just easier to do than in kix. I try to do most work in Kix, and now vbscript (evil) but have at times, needed to have other files that can be packaged along with the kix32 and script as well. I use the Res kit utils and other third party utils, as it is easier if they have the right output.

my 1.2 cents worth, damm IRS.
