I have a cab file that contains two files, not including the install.inf.

One of these files is registered as a control - done this bit.

The other file needs to be copied to another directory on the client machine, the directory is determined by a Registry Key - How on earth do I do this?

More to the point, where is the best place (other site) to ask this question?

Tim.

Wild guess if this is what you're looking for, but you can use SHFileOperation() to copy files, even across the network.

I need to do this within the cab install script, any takers?

The archives would benefit from the answer if you wouldn't mind posting it.

Well it installs the files but I am having terrible trouble with registering them. I will post my findings when I sort this out.

Note to self : Don't compress the controls before packaging - they will not register on some machines.
