I have a custom application at work that doesnt have an installer. To install it we just copy the folder to the program files directory and run the registry entries. My question is on a Win2K unattend install how would I copy that folder over to make an unnatended install of the app, ive got the registry entries there allready. In winxp I just make a $Progs folder and it automatically copies the files over. is there a script I can write to do this for me in 2K? I have the program in 2KCD\$OEM$\$Progs\The Press of Ohio\TPOmac, and it needs to go to the respective program files folder on the installation. Thanks for any help.

I got it, I used WinRAR and made an SFX archive and it had options for a pathname, worked like a charm....
