Now that's a BAD logic. Have you sold software to AOL users? What if the installation has support for different Palm models (e.g. Kyocera vs Handspring specific APIs) or if there are different skins for different resolutions? Packaging everyithing in a nice executable dramatically cut our support costs. BTW, Catapult does parse the USERS.DAT file in order to provide installation without using InstAIDE. That's also not very good, but it has proven to be very well taken risk for over 3 years now. - bobby >----- Original Message ----- >I need to create an installer for PC what installs a Palm PRC file into the >HotSync directory for upload.
