Hi!

I need a vb-function for a setup-routine.
My function checks, if the file is in use. If the file is in use,
DO SOMETHING (??) to install it on windows-startup (like such setups, which
tell the user to reboot system to finish setup process)??

How can i tell windows to install this files on startup?

This function must run under win95/win98 and winnt.

How can i do this?
Thanks.

I'm nearly positive there's an article on Http://www.vbaccelerator.com about just such a thing. Otherwise just write a batch file that that runs from dos on startup(gets called by autoexec). That won't work for NT though. For NT I think you could write a program that runs from the run once keys that installs the necessary files. Have you tried the Package and Deployment Wizard?

Sorry, that wasn't supposed to posted. I was delirious at that moment.
