Hi Gary, > I've written a multi-product installation/setup program that uses > OpenFile to open a file called A:\DISK1.INF that contains installation > scripts.

I'm not sure why you're running into this problem. Could it be that you need to flush the buffer or increase the File handles? The WinSDK forum would be a more appropriate place to post this question. Sincerely, Brian Ku -Microsoft Developer Support
