Well hmmmm... First of all thanks for the responses.

What I need to do is

1) Place a single Access file and a set of PDF "how to" files into an
install package.
2) Ask the user a question "What is your XYZ code" where the user knows
what I am talking about and what this code is.
3) When they respond, I need to build a directory structure that uses this
code as part of the path.
4) I need to place these files into the directory I just created
5) I need to Create a folder in All Files and then place shortcuts into
that folder to allow the user to click on the shortcuts to open my database
app or the readme files.
6) Ask if they want a shortcut on the desktop and if so create one.
7) Create a set of keys in the registry to add that path I just created to
"safe locations" so that the db won't complain every time the user opens it.

It is the safe location thing that I am trying to handle with this.

I found a demo script to start with that also creates registry stuff.
Somewhere I have already found registry stuff to create the safe location
so I can add that in.

This is going to be a PITA but we'll see how it works.
