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
