We evaluate the prospects for measuring B(h\ensuremath→\ensuremathγ\ensuremathγ) for a standard-model-like Higgs boson at the Next Linear e+e^\ensuremath- Collider in the e+e^\ensuremath-\ensuremath→Z^\ensuremath⋆\ensuremath→Zh and e+e^\ensuremath-\ensuremath→\ensuremathνe\ensuremathνeh production modes. Relative merits of different machine energy/luminosity strategies and different electromagnetic calorimeter designs are evaluated. We emphasize the importance of measuring B(h\ensuremath→\ensuremathγ\ensuremathγ) in order to obtain the total width of a light Higgs boson and thereby the bb partial width that will be critical in discriminating between the standard model Higgs boson and the Higgs boson of an extended model.
