Short of a command line argument to inform the IS6 setup of the fact, is it possible to determine the actual output filename from PFTW?  In other words, in my InstallScript, can I figure out the _ORIGINAL_ single executable filename.

I don't think there's a way to do this.
In Developer you could at least get the directory of the original package (where you could search for the exe file).

I'm gonna use the command line to do this, but out of curiousity what call(s) would I make to get the directory from IS?  'cause SRCDIR would be the temp. location and SRCDISK would be just the drive letter of where the original EXE resided.

Oh, Developer.  I misinterpreted that the first time.  That won't help me then as I'm in Professional.  Thanks for the reply though.

I wonder why they didn't add this in Professional 7 as well :(
