George, The real problem with VBRUN100.DLL is that it would be required to run the SETUP program! IOW, if you could not guarentee that it was in the path someplace, (still hard to guarentee at this point!), than it would have to exist in non-compressed glory on the install disk. It is this fact that is holding me back the most. A 300k install routine is a *little* out of the ordinary. Could we tell users tha they have to have the file on their system already in order to install. Should I write a little C program that checks/copies the DLL and then launches the VB program. The stuff about the customizable bitmap would be a cinch because you would actually have the source code to the install program, instead of a script language. -=Jonathan There are 2 Replies.
