yes that would be simpler, but the the login has to be handled by the
package because the system is (almost) always deployed by IT in a silent
install with the credentials supplied on the command line

again that would be simpler, but until the binaries from the MSI have been
installed it's not possible to do a log-in

thanks for the suggestions though
