Gary, if you run the MS Setup program, one of the files is SETUP.INF which lists each file and where it goes. There's a lot of OTHER stuff as well, but it will give you everything you need. Then, if you need more than the MS Setup provides take that list and use InstallShield or one of the other similar programs.
