Yes, you are correct. I have several .exe's running on a large (200+ users) network. The distribution diskettes will also copy your application to the local drive when you do the individual setups. I saw a thread recently about how to avoid the duplication. I just erase them from the local drive after I've done the installation. You can also copy the distribution diskette directories to a network drive and do the installations on the user machines from the network as opposed to using floppies. Hope this hasn't been redundant!
