Autorun

[spiritwolf]

Ok I know other people have asked this but I never did find a good answer to my questions so Im going to ask.


I created a program and used VB 5's setup wizard (havent do anymore to the file yet to convert to 6 even though I have it), now I created an autorun.inf file to run the setup. But now I am wondering how to put something in the setup program or the autorun (preferably) to check to see if the program is already installed and if it is to open it instead of installing it. I would appreciate it if I get a response to remember I am a complete newbie and trying to learn on my own. (with about 50 books laying around ) Thank You in advance. Spiritwolf

this should be simple. Make another small program, that checks to see if the program is already installed (and opens it, if it's already installed). and make the autorun file point to this small program. that should get rid of your problems

Geez Its so simple and it just slipped right by me. Which goes by the simple rule of check the simple things first.
