<6Rich> ## Why does most of your documentation use Lotus Notes as the example application?

<6Rich> ## Does the tool inspect MSi files and list which properties can be specified on commandline?

<6Rich> ## Are there any plans to automate the process of creating the Deploy-Application.ps1 scripts via a GUI, rather than asking the user to modify them by hand?
