Quick question: why do you have to do it AFTER the installation completes?

hi friedrich,

> Quick question: why do you have to do it AFTER the installation completes?

i have some "shell" files that need to be renamed and shuffled around based
on the user/license once they've been extracted on to the hdd from the
install pkg,

as a qnd, i wound up writing a cw exe, but it has limitations w/ sz of cmd
line params that can be passed. other thought was to just use an ini and
continue w/ my cw exe.

Well, but is there a specific reason you can't do this "rename process"
from within your installer (as part of the "installation")? You can do
whatever you want from a SetupBuilder installer, including calling into
your own (Clarion or whatever) DLLs, zipping und unzipping ZIP archives,
or even rename files and folders using the "Rename File/Folder..." or
"Move File(s)..."function.

What do you think?

let me send u a pvt email later that outlines the process. and yes, my
preference is to do it from within SB.
