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

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

    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 ;-)

    Only install one time

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