>Here's what I did to solve the problem of network installations in general. I first created a setup program (I called it Install.EXE) that did the following: It deleted itself from the group that it was in, and added the application into that group. Naturally, it first looked at F:, but if it could not find the path, searched the other networked drives until it found it. I made sure that the users had access to the directory prior to having them install. I next created a project containing all the necessary components ESL, OCXs etc. and built the EXE.

Finally, I placed the installation disks on the network as a children of the main application directory. This way, if they had access to the child directories, they had to have access to the parent. Also, it allowed installation without disk swapping or distribution.

It appears that the Project needs to contain the ESL and OCX - from what George said so I'll try that - thanx
