If I create a setup cd (Netsetup) of a program I have. Would the files be copied to the user machine as read-only.
If so. Is there any sample exe I can use to make the necessary files read/wrire again.
 
Hi

I dont know if you are doing a copying of the files from CD-Rom. The files copied from CD-ROM directly will be read only. You can use the command
ATTRIB -R *.*/S command in your batch file used for copying or as another batch file to set the attributes. This is not surely a problem.

But If you use cd-rom version of building the distributable, you can always distribute that and run the setup. The set-up CD when run will install the software correctly and you dont have to setup the Read only attribute.

Hope this helps you :) ramani :-9

so the setup cd will install the files already in the read/write state
