I agree -- sorry for the misdirection.  I have known
that the light edition was freely available on the CD
since Win2000 but had never tried it.

Although, I am a programmer, I don't do much professional
programming work these days -- just putzing around for
myself or my net, so I haven't been building MSIs.

Sorry.
