Yes. SARInstaller is part of the current 3.7a, so you don't have to install 
it.

Likewise the registry classes.

Yes. Monticello does, at least; the PackageInfo-Extras package adds additional 
support for these tasks.

Right.

Yes, go to the PackageLoader, and open the menu, and check 'display installed 
packages', and uncheck 'display new or newer packages'. This will show you 
what SM2 thinks is in your image.

You can (if you have the new PackageInfo stuff loaded) also do 'PackageList 
open' and see the registered packages.
