  We examine the prospects for measuring the photon-photon branching ratio of a
Standard-Model-like Higgs boson ($h$) at the Next Linear $e^+e^-$ Collider when
the Higgs boson is produced via $W^+W^-$--fusion: $e^+e^-\to\nu_e \bar\nu_e h$.
In particular, we study the accuracy of such a measurement and the statistical
significance of the associated signal as a function of the electromagnetic
calorimeter resolution and the Higgs boson mass. We compare results for the
$W^+W^-$--fusion production/measurement mode with the results obtained for the
$e^+e^-\rightarrow Z^*\rightarrow Z h$ production/measurement mode in a
parallel earlier study.
