>>I am having a time using the post setup exe. I want to run an exe installed in the application directory ie PostSetup.exe which gets copied along with the main application to the appliction directory. And I want to pass the %s to it as a parameter so it can in turn call some installs (printer install etc.) The wizard tries to force the name of MY source directory onto the postsetup.exe and it won't accept any parameters (like %s). I am trying to roll this stuff out today and this is making me nuts.

A launcher might work. See I am thinking inside the box again. Thanks
It is impossible to make programs idiot proof. Idiots are too cleaver.
