What about a EULA? Hmmm? Isn't that the normal way things are done uh the responsible way things are done?
Furthermore I proceeded with the install but now I am in a quandry. Because ASPNET profile was NOT made. You
know what profile is used for the .NET Framework on my machine? IWAM_MachineName. So now I have an
install of the Framewoek which violates all the documentation at Microsoft. Great.
