Re: 2.0.1 .NET Provider installation

Yes, exactly!  And there should be a non-interactive install to easily roll
out installs in all scenarios.

Having been an administrator at one point in time, I can tell you that
having to manually update files over and over is most annoying and very
prone to error.
Yes, you can script the changes, but having to do that when it should have
been handled by the product installed, is also quite frustrating.
Especially when you have a few thousand PCs to update and not all are the
same, so you have to be very careful in testing your scripts to be sure you
don't break one of the many special cases out on the network.

This is why I am always on the lookout for things that can be improved
easily during development to make the end user and the network
administrator's lives easier.

There is always an optimal time to make any change ... identify it and do
it!

Ideally, installer should check if it has admin rights and show options
to update machine.config and install assembly in GAC
