We really need to think about what we are doing here! The purpose of the
installers (Brio in particular) is to create an installer that will install
SQL*Net, SNS/ANO, and Brio on a Customers desktop. The Customers should
not have to know how to ftp, input install keys, serial numbers, or be
expected to know the answer to technical prompts.... (SQL*Net and SNS/ANO
ask specific questions about connectivity, TCP/IP, etc...). Susan, correct
me if I'm wrong but I thought that the reason these tasks were assigned to
people was because the Integration Team decided that this was the correct
thing to do.
