---- USER TYPE A ----
"I know what tar and gzip does."
"I don't know what this cdk.exe thing is doing."
---------------------
---- USER TYPE B ----
"I know how to run cdk.exe."
"I don't know how to install just with tar and gzip." (i.e. registry
settings, env. vars, etc.)
---------------------
Most users will be a bit of both types. IMHO the way to keep both sides
happy is to document exactly what InstallShield is doing. If you can
get it to produce a detailed log of it's activities, that should
suffice.
