    How does Daisy work?
    Ancient Chinese secret. Actually, this is what it does:

    1. Verify command line switches
    2. Verify security access requirements
    3. Verify OS version and service pack
    4. Download daisy.ini from FTP site
    5. Check version in .ini to running app's version
    6. Run qfecheck for pre-hotfix check
    7. Update registry so Daisy can post event log messages
    8. Download .xml or .zip mssecure database from local FTP or xml.shavlik.com via HTTP
    9. Run hfnetchk locally with downloaded xml database
    10. Extract hotfix info from results
    11. Report to user and ask if they want to download and install hotfixes
    12. For each hotfix, try to download the file and it's .cls pairing from the local FTP site
    13. Checksum the hotfix file to make sure it downloaded correctly
    14. Install each hotfix with its custom command line switches
    15. Report outcome to the user
    16. Write events to the event log
    17. Run qfecheck for post-hotfix check
    18. Run qchain to organize hotfix installs
    19. Quit or reboot depending on command line switches
