I can understand your disappointment with the way it has to be accomplished, but when MC was released the SPWAW version at the time was the most up to date. And to reprogram the installation procedures to accomidate such an installation takes time and money and would have surely delayed the release of the MC CD. The staff is overworked and underpayed (but not underappreciated) for the job they have been able to do with this product. Remember this until MC CD was released, SPWAW was and still is FREE. This option has been brought up to the developers and rumor has it that this option will be available in the next MegaCampaign release.

Good to hear from you, gmenfan! :)
I understand overworked and underpaid only too well; remember, I do what they do. As to this issue having been brought up to them, there is no way I could have known that. I do not discount the fact that SPWAW is free at all; I was amazed and delighted to find it so! However, the MC is NOT free, and if you're gonna charge for something that 'works with what you have', i.e. an addon, then it should install with watcha got in place. Again, I state there was no rancor in anything I said; if rancor was construed, then it was entirely in the mind of the beholder, as the words conveyed nothing of the sort. I have in fact only re-stated what any developer knows.
In summation, it's not the cost of the 'addon', which is negligible. It is rather the principle involved. I've made overtures to Matrix (Wild Bill) with regard to helping out, stating my qualifications to do so. Wild Bill was as always a consumate gentleman in his reply, and I have hope that at some point, my offer may be seriously considered beyond simply helping out in the forums. As you've already stated, the guys are overworked; so am I, but I think I could spare the time to apply my development skills to just such a problem as this, and would be pleased to do so! I'm not just grousing; I'd be happy to implement the solution!
Best regard always, gmenfan!
