Michael,

I haven't as of yet looked at the WI version of InstallShield. I use the older professional version.

Since the Is() function assumes you're looking in a specified location for a file, that actually won't be of any help to you. The only other IS function that might be of any help is FindAllFiles(). That one searches through subdirectories. I guess that in combination with ExistsDisk() would do it for you.

Laterness,
Jon
