Thank you, it's now working. Regarding the folder existence check, i'll simply add an exit code='any' to the rmdir install command in order to make the package proceed with the xcopy the first time it's run (when of course the folder does not exist)
I have now a further issue in deploying a .vbs file in the package but i think it's related to the script itself so i'll ask for help in a proper forum. Thanks again!
