Hello again,

We've come across a critical issue with our installer. WISE is closed for the weekend so i cannot call them for support yet.

We want to insert some files in the system folder when installing, so in Windows 9x this would be:

Windows\System
in Windows NT/2000:

WinNT\System32
in XP/2003:

Windows\System32

How do we insert these files inside WISE installer? I currently put them in the "system" Folder but after looking at our test rigs with the files in Windows XP they werent in the System32 folder as required but in the System Folder. How do I address this? Simply changing it to put it in the System32 folder in WISE will break 9x compatibility.

Thank-you for your prompt response.
 
never mind... we used System32 and it works OK now... funny no-one knows why it was in the System folder...
