The principal reason at the moment is that it is the only way I can get  
Dragon NS to install with anything more recent that 20050524!

Reason no.2 is that is sure as hell going to be bigger that ie5

Reaon no.3 is that MS get more dangerous and devious with every release. I  
apply a crude rule that earlier is likely to mean less issues where MS is  
concerned.

Well, actually, yes. And the manual method seems to be basically what  
sidenet does for me anyway(-DCOM98 install) just a lot more hassle.

I am trying to document an installation process for the appDB. I want to  
tidy it up to be as minimal as possbile rather than say : do this do that  
, select this or that option. etc.

If there are no better suggestions I will just stick with sidenet (without  
IE6) then a manual IE5.5 , then turn off all the built-in ole stuff that  
does not work then run the installer that fails to run again once it has  
been run once. Doc it and leave it.

It does not make wine look too together but it will at least install and  
run the software under a recent winecfg based wine.
