That very OLD choice.exe isn't compatible with newer choice.exe parameters

Example:

Choice /D ABCD <-- New, doesn't work with OLD choice
Choice /D:ABCD <-- Old, but works with newer also

And case sensitivity and timeout parameters are totally incompatible with OLD and NEW

I also prefer use choice nowadays rather than SET and some other which are now included in Vista which were never in XP but was in Server 2003 and Support Tools packs, (forfiles.exe, robocopy.exe etc.)

Vista's versions of these (v6) doesn't work in XP, it needs v5

So anyone who uses Vista and Choice alot then include attached choice exe in package so its compatible with XP
