Your still not cursing as much as the guy building msi installers though...

Again, this. Even with WiX it's painful. HKLM vs HKCU + corporate deployment hell + why the fuck do I need two MSIs to bootstrap the CLR and VSTO. Argh.

I deal with VSTO, WiX, ClickOnce, IIS, COM, MSMQ and the usual bits. Pays well but it made my hair fall out and has taken a couple of years off my life at least.

I long for the gong to ring so I can go home to my MacBook and OpenBSD (where I truly belong).

I actually do that job too. That horror falls under the umbrella of "deployment."
