Re: Directory question Hi Kevin, Unfortunately, all emails to you bounced back. I sent several emails with the same results <kevin@*****.org>: 173.214.***.61 failed after I sent the message. Remote host said: 554 Rejecting due to security policy (SA:1106210552020200) Could you please "whitelist" our domain? Friedrich
Re: Directory question Originally Posted by kevinb Ok, got that working. Thanks for the info Peter. However in testing the installer I came across a small "anomoly".

However, in the install where it asks you to install it shows only "C:" without the backslash. Which means if you just type in a directory you want to install to it doesnt work because the backslash isnt there. Yet it is implied for the "default" install directory. I can't seem to find any way to force the backslash to be in the default path for the installer, so that instead of always showing just "C:" it shows "C:\" so when a user types in a directory name they dont have to remember to add the backslash. Is this possible? Kevin, A default install dir set as "C:\" is really a no-no. If you don't want to install it to the Windows Logo recommended location, you should set it as "C:\Your Program Name". And that's still not okay. It really should be "C:\Program Files\Your Program Name". Peter

Re: Directory question Thanks Peter, I'll check it out. I must have missed that somehow in the online help when I glanced over it. Kevin

(Uninstall Contents) in the online help. You can use all script functions in your custom uninstall. I did the same yesterday and it works perfect. Peter
