Could you put a compressed version of mc.exe into a custom property
of your stack? Then install it with something like:
put decompress(the cpPlayerFile of this stack) into url
"binfile:C:/dir/MetaCard Player2"
It will add to the size of the installer, but only 700K or so.
Apologies if I'm off track here. I missed the beginning of the thread.
