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
