Deploying 3 different versions<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a simple problem. My customer needs to
deploy my application in 3 versions(Access97 Access2000 and AccessXP) to his
"subcustomers" on CD disc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone share some idea how to do this? I
think that 3 folders(A97, A2k and AXP) can contain their own .MDE files,
but it was the most suitable if I can handle:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- detect the OS;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- detect if the appropriate folder(the folder
name is always the same, say C:\NovumKft) exist;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- depending on above to copy(if there is no such
folder make the folder and than copy the application) or to ask(such
folder exist on hard disc) if the customer need to copy the appropriate
version of the application from the CD to specified folder.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks in advance,</FONT></DIV>
