Because it's
a) Easily scriptable for any msi file for automated installation
b) Allows use/creation of merge modules for easy bundling of software -
something Jean-Michel is extremely keen on.
c) The standard, preferred installation method in XP/2K/2003
d) Can use/create advertising shortcuts with central network
installations
e) Handles file conflicts/version issues properly
f) Manages file reference counting centrally
g) Supports rollback of partial/failed installations
h) Supports application repair as well as complete reinstall
Regards, Dave.
