Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] reason #6347 to use Firefox...

[Vern Green <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

There are ways using group policy to build your own release of
software. It does not use an MSI but rather it creates something
similiar called a .zap file. This is not as flexible as using an
prebuilt msi, but it does work to roll out the software on the network
to your users.

Here is a link to the MS TechNet site with information I followed to
roll out some software using this technique.
