ChiefRedBull 06-15-2002, 09:22 AM The logic behind it would be - When it is run, check for the existance of a flag somewhere on the system This flag maybe a registry key, a file, or anything else that you choose. If the flag is "true", then the setup has aready been run, so shut down. If the flag is "false", then this is the first time, so carry on If the flag is "false", set it to "true" Agent 06-15-2002, 09:23 AM Why do you want to do this? So files don't get overwritten or something? You could use SaveSetting and GetSetting for this. anhmytran 06-15-2002, 10:15 AM The application setup package is created by Microsoft VB. We do not know the code of the Setup.exe file, but we know that it should run any time until completed. If you are not satisfied with it, you may create it yourself. However, it is not worth doing that: extremly high cost. anhmytran 06-15-2002, 10:58 AM You can check the Registry manually by Window Start Bar -- Run -- and enter Regedit However, the setup.exe does not have option for your request. Whatever you do with the registry does not help you to work on the setup.exe. As I said, it is created by MS, and it runs until the end without interuption by user. It can run many times. |
