Hi,

I would think not. Calling tx_em_Connection_ExtDirectServer is just the 
start of the process. Quite a few other "em" classes are called after 
that, aren't they? In this case it is better to build a dependency on 
"em" rather than having duplicate code for installing extensions in the 
Install Tool (as we had until now / still have, but could now be 
deprecated).

Cheers
