While this may not be a feature update or something to add to the application.
It would be more helpful for the Vista Client installer to not have an option for x64 or x86 as most if not all endpoint systems are running a x64 OS. This creates an extra layer of complexity during deployment as most enterprises will use some sort of application deployment such as SCCM or PDQ Deploy. Most of MSI installers do not have a radio to choose between x86 and x64.
Also, as an organizational update for the file structure on the client, a x64 application does not get placed in the Program Files (x86) directory. Please update this so that any new system that Vista installs on goes to the more standardized directory Program Files.
Last gripe with this is regarding the documentation. Please update it so that the Enterprise Deployment Guide includes a section for ALL the switches. Having to reach out to support just to get switches for an installer is a bit much. Obtaining pre-requisite applications isn't too much of a stretch for application admins, but including outdated names in the installer and the documentation creates unnecessary hoops for when writing these install scripts.
