Wouldn't such a program be then called a "service"? And if yes, then couldn't you just use the service tables for that? Finally, your scenario will not work if your program has any dependencies installed by the MSI, like the C library for example. These are not available until *after* MSI has completed (after custom actions executed). Though XCopy install type would work. - Adam -- Mail Etiquette ============== * Quote properly or not at all.
