It seems to do pretty much exactly what you describe. When InstallManager
came up, it showed all the modules I have installed on my PDA. The message
given by copyMods.exe is as follows:

starting InstallManager,exe

At end of InstallManager CreateProcess - waiting for InstallManager to end.

Finished with InstallMangager - now do the install

BTW, I meant to give feedback on the SwordReader application installer. It
works perfectly for me. I also think I was wrong about the icon issue. If
the shortcut is in the "Start Menu/Programs" folder the icon shows up
fine. If the shortcut is in the Start Menu root, and accessed directly
from the drop-down menu, the icon does not show. I assume that's because
the executable doesn't have an icon that size.

I'd love to try some of the features you've added in SVN, but
unfortunately the emulator absolutely refuses to run on my machine so I
can't build it. If you get chance to put up a binary for testing I'd be
happy to give feedback.

Michael.
