  23. Hi,
  24.  
  25. Kermit 95 is currently used throughout the company I work for. One thing 
  26. I've been looking at recently is rolling out software via group policy. I 
  27. would be interested to know if the developers of Kermit would consider 
  28. packaging into a msi install file. Expensive programs such as installsheild 
  29. isn't required. You can use WiX to achieve this. A good tutorial on this can 
  30. be found at: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/
  31.  
  32. Futher information and downloads:

  35.  
  36. Useful editor:
  37.  
  38. http://wixedit.sourceforge.net/
  39.  
  40. I've used it myself to create a few simple packages for various settings and 
  41. shortcuts etc that we like to have installed on our pcs.
  42.  
  43. Thanks for any replies,
  44.
