I think there's a precedence for separating an install from the configuration. This is done for other packages, like openssh, cron, etc. A good reason for this division is to allow for user input during the configuration step, which "setup.exe" doesn't have support for. If running your libusb-install is more like a configuration step, I'd say leave it as is (though maybe change the name to indicate it's a configuration script instead). I might also encourage leaving things as is if the running of the script requires a reboot to take affect. Depending on your what your safety concerns are, that might be another good reason to leave things as is. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
