My major reason is to be sure all required fixpacks are downloaded. I
can download using a fast internet connection at home and when I'm at
a customers location they aren't very pleased when I have to download
another fixpack, they don't pay me for waiting at a download.
The installer can check what is installed so I guess it shouldn't be
a big problem to put these checks in a stand-alone utility and
display the installed software.
