>I have a wonderful little application written in VB4, and it runs off the network. I need an installation program that will install all the supporting run-time files on the workstation, but not the EXE - OK, I've got that. Now I need to create an icon on each workstation, pointing to my program in the network directory to which it was earlier installed.

If you have VB5 (and it might be there in VB4 too) you should check the Setup project source code that comes with VB. There is a DLL called VB5STKIT.DLL that has some functionality like what you are talking about. You will have to do some digging, but I *think* it's there. If it is, you can just make some DLL calls to do what you need.
