Hi,

I have created the setup and deployment package for an application and copied all the necessary file son CD.

When running the setup.exe file, all goes well, excpet that all the installed files (including the MSACCESS database0 will become read-only.

Does anyone know of a utility which I can use in order to overcome this problem?

Many thanks


 
the dos command would be:

attrib -r database0.mdb

you can stick that in a shell cmd at the begining of your code. it'd be a bit redundant after the first run, but you'd never have to worry about it.

The VB command would be...
[tt]
SetAttr "PathFileName", vbNormal
[/tt]

Good Luck

 

Do you mean the installation files in the folder "Support1"?

Did you add the MDB to the files list in the P&D Wizard?
