To speed up deployment.... honest.
The apps are already deployed as proprietary snapshots. We are simply going to abandon (not uninstall) the apps. and then deploy a stripped down msi. If a user has a problem with the app they will "repair" the app which will do a full install (msiexec /fpecums).
This will speed up deployment of the 1500+ apps to convert from 2 years (full regression tested) to 3 months.
