Thanks, Harry.
Since I have so many machines that need installed it is probably better if I just have a way to uninstall and reinstall.
I've been doing this using WiX.  I need to get the WiX install to succeed 100% of the time and right now it's not.
About 25% of the installs end up with this fork:retry issue.
