I am a new member, but have been lurking for quite some time. I find myself using SMS Installer for different tasks/deployments still. What about you? Are you still using SMS Installer?

    Also, since Windows 7 is here, and 64 bit is in, what are the known bugs with SMS Installer? Limitations, and workarounds? I've only been using it for a few months but find it very useful. Thanks for your help.

      You know from time to time I do still use it.  Some customers are still using it because they have all these scripts they developed for things.  Plus there are some times when I want to quickly see what's getting installed.  But when it comes to doing repackaging projects for customers ... no... always AdminStudio.  When I'm writing quick scripts or utilities I use AutoIT.  When just need an admin script I use Powershell.

        There are a ton of bugs that I've found over the years... just in general.
         
        With x64 you have to be mindful of paths and registry keys.

          Thanks. Since I just started using it for certain things, I guess I'm curious. Is there some post that already has some common bugs? Or would you mind sharing some? Thanks alot.
