Turned out I didn't need that line of code, ive removed the mistake, and, now the installer uses the CopyDirectory to copy everything within the folder to the install location....

Hmmmm... i think i've sorted it out, however, my next problem is
it doesn't copy over the directories, only the files....

any ideas on how to use the same code but copy the folder?

Thanks,...

I could incorporate the InstallEditor program from CodeProject.

Could you give me any examples or code as I am not very good at the StreamWriter and StreamReader classes. :)

Hi, I am using the sharpziplib to exxtract the contents of a .tar file, I am using the below code:

(i'm not very good with listView controls)

A text file as it needs to be easy to edit aswell.

I just looked for a free License program but found nothing, it is worth it though.

I've used WinLicense and it does do a good job, but it still can be cracked, I haven't tried though!

I Agree, but at least you can try to protect your apps...
