I got a strange request. Compile a setup program that will only successfully execute one time. Can this be done with SB?:eek:

Jim,

The problem is that you can make as many copies of a file as you want. So even if you have a "counter" in the executable, the user can use a fresh copy.

What you can do is to use the "Remove Installer after Successful Installation" feature. This makes sure this specific copy can only be installed one time ;-)

By the way, of course only, if the user does not burn the file to CD/DVD ;)

That's probably good enough in this case. Thanks.
