    PLEASE HELP: How can i install files, that are IN USE ??? PLEASE HELP

    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?
