Yeah, thanks.  I was looking for something right from the setup.  A button that says "Install from Setup.ini" or something like that where I would poing to some specific file, ie. /etc/installed.db, and it would appropriately give me choices to:
1. install the latest versions
2. keep same version
3. Upgrade to x64/or viceversa Downgrade to x32

That is a good change to have on the setup.  Imagine if this tool existed, it would be great for SAs.  They would just create one machine, and then take that file and use it on all the others machine to have the same setup on each.  Just thinking out loud.  Thanks for listening.

What I did on this was, ran the setup, selected "Picked" on the View option, and took a screen-shot of that.  Now, I have to go and choose those and I will be all set. ;-)  Thanks.
