I'm more of a lazy person, trust me.

Because Windows 2000 Server works with MSI. That's why. The only other 
choice offered is ZAP, which I wouldn't want to use even when forced to.

I'd like to know what Network Rendering has to do with automatically 
deploying an application over a network, btw. What you're probably doing 
is just letting the Wise Installer run in silent mode. I could of course 
create a script that does something similar, but that sounds way more 
complicated to me than just going the route I took.

As a sidenode, I think I fixed the problem.

Thanks anyway.
