    a shell ? [RESOVED]

    In my vb app, I use the following code:
    VB Code:
    1. 'run setup exe to install control components
    2.         Unload frmCopyUtility
    3.         Shell App.Path & "\" & "setup.exe"

    When my copy utility unloads, it launches the setup.exe file, I want the setup.exe to display in the monitor so useres can see it, instead it only shows up in the toolbar. The setup.exe is installing all of my DLL's and other controls I use in my application.

    Is there away to force the setup window to diplay on the monitor? I hope I am making sense.

    If I understand you then something like this should work.

    VB Code:
    1. Shell App.Path & "\" & "setup.exe", vbMaximizedFocus
    This world is not my home. I'm just passing through.

    Yes, that helped, but it over took the whole monitor. Is there a way to display in a smaller window?

    I got it, thanks. vbNormalFocus.
