installscape archive directory

[Erik Wanta]

So, I am trying to take advantage of installscape and not download
more than I need to. I thought I would be able to create and archive
directory for an ISR and then use that same archive directory for the
next ISR. This didn't seem to work as the ic_index.sdx file didn't
get updated in the archive directory. Any thoughts?

David:
Thanks for the commercial, but do you know why the ic_index.sdx
doesn't get updated when I archive a new ISR to my existing archive
directory? If I can't use installscape to update the archive
directory with only what is needed for the new ISR then installscape
is not living up to its potential.
