Hello Mike

This answer does bring up another question. Is there a list of common
files that are replaced by adsm? What happens if we had a newer
copy of (for example MFC40.DLL) one of these files on the workstation
before the adsm install? Will it be backleveled by the adsm install?


Thanks len

PS What level of InstallShield are you using?
