Hello,
I've created an update application to make periodic changes to my end-user's database. I have used this application prior with no problems, and on my own pc (Win XP), but it bombs on other pcs - including my laptop running Win 98.
The last time I distributed the updates (update.exe, and assorted other files), I used the VB Setup wizard. But since this creates an entry in the Add/Remove Programs, I thought I would just create a self-extracting zip file for the pieces I need to add or overwrite.
The code is as follows:
Name App.Path & "\update.exe" As App.Path & "\update1.exe"
Yeah, I know the documentation says that you can't rename a file while it's open, but it does work when I run this on my pc in a secluded test area (not in runtime).
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Michelle
