looking for feedback on installation process and on eMarking Assis

[Peter]

Hello everyone,

Over the last several months I have posted several questions to this group
related to a project i am working on. Thanks to everyone who has assisted.

I have finally posted version 1 and I would be very interested in any
feedback on the installation process. The bits that might be of interest to
people in this group are:
* the install process (click a button in the word document to install the
template)
* the welcome screen that is shown the first time that Word is run after the
template has been installed
* the activation process where the user sends a ComputerID with their
payment and they receive an activation key allowing them to use the software
for 1 year

The software is called eMarking Assistant and it provides floating windows
in any version of Word (apart from 2008 for the Mac) to help people store,
edit, customise and insert autotext (quickparts) entries into a document. The
comment banks can be easily moved from computer to computer and be installed
by computer novices.

The software is available for download from:
http://baker-evans.com/emarking-assistant/

I would be VERY interested in any feedback that people have on the
installation process or the application.

I would be inclined to use something like Install Creator for the
installation routine.
