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.

Do you know if there is a way to use VSTO with Access XP Runtime?

It's been years since I used the packaging wizard and crotchets like that are one of the key reasons I don't.

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.
