We do this mostly for two reasons - the installer is less in size and it is easier to update manuals if needed.

Oops. I was slightly off the mark with that one. ;D

What about the having a direct link to the manuals in the Start menu created during the installation process? For example: START > All Products > Captain Sim > 767 Captain > Download Manuals.

Just a thought. ;)
