Check out a product called Picture Taker. We use it all the time. You take a
virgin PC. Start Picture Taker and install your apps, ODBC or anything else
you need. Picture taker records everything done to the PC down to the
registry key changes, then you take that image and drop it onto your clients
and voila.(I might mention that this does not overwrite files that already
exist unless you explicitly want it to, it's an additive process). We used
it for an Oracle fat client apps rollout and it cut the install time per box
from 2.5 hours to 15 minutes, HTH
