    Hi

    I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations when it comes to how to
    handle MIF status when adding Windows Installer (MSI) packages to SMS 2003.
    E.g. is there any difference letting the MSI package program (E.g.
    Wise/InstallShield) create MIF status information compared to creating this
    information when adding the MSI package to SMS 2003?

    Any recommendations regarding this? Thank you!

    /Ragnar
