I don't believe it's possible directly from inside of FPW 2.6; you could invoke an external program, such as an InstallShield script or Windows Scripting Host script to do the work for you, and you could programmatically irect these rograms, in the case of an InstallShield script indirectly through command line parameters, or in the case of a WSH script, by actually creating the script file (which is a text file) inside your FPW application and then running it.

For information on the Windows Scripting Host, I'd try http://cwashington.netreach.net/home.htm as a starti9ng point, or Microsoft's MSDN Online.

The Surgeon General has determined that prolonged exposure to the Windows Script Host may be addictive to laboratory mice and codemonkeys
