I don't suppose anyone's going to try to provide a rxkad 2b aklog? I
suspect that would be of more general interest than gssklog, not to
discourage you from doing what's going to be useful for you.

Jim Peterson has been using 5.5 to build the installer; We use what we
have, because it's all we have that will build an internationalized
installer. For what it's worth, he's unavailable to respond now, which is
probably why he hasn't.

As to plans to do a newer version of Installshield support, it's a matter
of time. I think Scott D Williams did something newer, but without
internationalization or server support (not that the server support
probably works yet anyway). If we could have a newer and internationalized
version to distribute a lot of people would be very happy, me included.
