Lines: 24 Hi... I am trying to make an installer script for my lab. In the script i am planning to copy INITs from a source disk to a target disk. However, when installing init (for example, vaccine) I have problem because when the vaccine is active, the installation will be really annoying. After reading the Technotes -75 (about Installer), i found out that there is a way to put the resource outside the system folder by changing the bit-8 to one. So i configure the file Spec flag to E1B7 hoping that the installer will find the files out side the system folder. But it does not work. The question i have are these: 1. How do I make the installer know the location of the source files ? 2. Can I put the source files into folder other then the System folder ? Thank you for any help that you can provide. ------------- Hanz Makmur CCIS Graphics Lab Rutgers University
