SETUP.EXE 3.0 Visual Basic Setup Kit Bootstrap Program Alternative ==================================================== Here is a much improved upgrade to the alternative SETUP.EXE. It now uses a SETUP.INF text file to hold customisation settings for the Setup dialogue box title, message and size and allows any number of pre-installation files to be installed. A new feature enables the user to be notified if there is not enough disk space for the pre-installation files. As before other Visual Basic programs can remain running whilst this SETUP.EXE is used and it will not copy files that already exist. All pre-installation files (including VER.DLL) can be compressed. Also included is a complete Windows 3.1 help file describing in great depth how to use SETUP.EXE 3.0 and all its features. (This help file was not compressed when it was compiled because greater compression can be achieved using PKZip on an uncompressed help file than on a compressed one. Thus you end up with a smaller file to download, although you will end up with a larger help file on your hard disk...) I hope this is of use to anyone like me who found the Micorosft-supplied SETUP.EXE (still) not up to the mark. Mike Chapman 28 August 1993 England CompuServe: 100030,351 =======================
