Creisinger,<br />
Thanks a lot... I have actually discovered another solution - in a roundabout way. I wrote a very short loader programme in vb which basically checks the windir$ for app.ini and if it doesn't exist then I create it (it's only a print# of 3 lines) and then call my original app (in the same directory) with a shell command. The loader app of course doesn't need an ini of its own.<br />
<br />
The only thing to be careful of is that when you build the loader app with setup wizard that you include all the files required by the main app (vbx, dll, exe, dbf etc). The way to do this is to start by using setup wizard for your own app and then making a note of all the files it lists as required... then abort. Start new build for the loader app and then manually add all the other files.<br />

When using the VB3 app setup wizard I cannot seem to get it to install my app.ini file in the \windows directory.<br />
It either goes in the \app directory - or if I include the<br />
&quot;:1&quot; switch then it goes in the \windows\system directory.<br />
Neither of which is found when the program runs - obviously.<br />
All this contains is the installable isam stuff for dbase.

VB3 - App Setup Wizard and ini files

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
