What is the garbage text? My suspicion is that you may have inadvertently saved the batch file as a Unicode file and that there is a Unicode byte-order mark (BOM) at the beginning of the batch file. If so, then open the batch file is Notepad and then choose Save As and explicitly specify the encoding as ANSI instead of Unicode before saving. BOMs are not visible in Unicode-aware editors, like Notepad, so it can be confusing when a BOM is present at the start of the file. It is not the installer that is prepending the text. The BOM would have been there from the outset.

This is causing execution problems. Any suggestions? Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
