[AccessD] OFFXPDEV Packaging Wizard

Then I don't know what to suggest.  I do know that trying to use the
packaging wizard to install consistently on different versions of
Windows is enough to drive you to drink!  I have never tried the VSTO
packager, even though I have it on my machine, because in that version,
I'm working with .Net rather than Access.

Thanks Charlotte,

I presume you are suggesting something like
Command1=0,1,$(AppPath),$(AppPath)\cmd.exe shrtCut.bat if so that didn't
work either. Do you know if there is a way to use VSTO 
with Access XP Runtime?

If the bat file runs when you double click it in explorer then you may
need to reference the command executable in the run command.  It's been
years since I used the packaging wizard and crotchets like that are one
of the key reasons I don't.

Using the Office XP Developer packaging wizard, I tell it to run
shrtcut.bat after completing the install. This creates a line in the
setup.lst file that looks like this. [RunCommands]
Command1=0,1,$(AppPath),$(AppPath)\shrtCut.bat

This works fine in Win98 the short cut runs as expected. In Windows XP
how ever it doesn't Changing to this
Command1=0,1,$(AppPath),$(AppPath)\License.txt
Works in both Win 98 and Win XP, note pad opens the file. Double
clicking on the batch file works in both. It appears that batch files
won't work from the install program, any ideas.??? I've searched the web
but have found very little about the [RunCommands] item nor where to
look for it.


Thanks

Bill
