Simply put if Office 2k is too hard, Installshield is not faring well in this evaluation. Wise, Tivoli, and Prism had no problems dealing with an Office 2000 repackage. As far as our image QA testing 2000 is a requirement and must be deployed as part of the evaluation. While I agree that it only needs a transform the requirement for this test is a single file distribution and the use of the Update Service. I could just throw it in a RAR or ZIP file and make a self extracter out of it but then I hardly need AS6 to do that and the whole purpose of this is to evaluate Installshield's AS6 product line.

I don't think it's a fair evaluation. When repackaging a vendor's MSI, which shouldn't be repackaged in the first place, and the repackaged MSI doesn't work, it does not demonstrate the capabilities of AdminStudio in any way.
Vendor's MSI installations don't always come in a single compressed file, hence they shouldn't subject to the "single file distribution" requirement.
