    Resolved [RESOLVED] P&D Question

    Hello...

    I need to have two files copied to the "system32" folder (see my previous post). After some discussion, we believe that P&D may be the best/easiest way to do this.

    Here is my current problem.

    I don't need to "install" any other application or anything like that... just copy these two files to the system32 folder (in either C:\Windows or C:\WInNT). With P&D it defaults to wanting to install my application as well, which is something I DONT want.

    Any thoughts on how to get around this? I've also tried INNOSetup but I think that's overkill for what i Need.

    I could use VB6 commands to copy files from one source to another, however, I'm looking for a self-contained method to do this. Meaning, I don't want the user to have to download to a set directory first. I'd like NO USER intervention to have these files copied, if possible.

    ANy ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!
