Hi, I have updated my ISWI installation kit with the ability to upgrade. The problem is, I want to create a compressed Network image (through the Release Wizard) such that my setup.exe is a self-extracting .exe. If I do this, I do not have the ability to edit the Setup.ini file to pass the "CmdLine" values of "REINSTALL=voums and REINSTALL=ALL", to force my setup to read the latest version of the installer. How can I create a self-extracting executable, while also being able to edit the setup.ini file? (I cannot use PackageForTheWeb, because this extracts everything into a TEMP dir, but not in subdirectories like I need)

Nevermind...I figured out that if I edit the template setup.ini in the Program Files\InstallShield\Support directory, then I never have to bother editing setup.ini on my own....I can set these REINSTALL values in the default setup.ini, so they are always used when building a project. Thanks anyway!! :)

By the way: PFTW will restore your folder structure if you check that option when you build the package.
