During the course of installation the  script opens a file name 'Autobuild.bat' and adds lines.  These lines are the path to a second batch file and the path to delete the shortcut to autobuild.  On reboot there is a shortcut in the common list to run "<TARGETDIR>/Autobuild.bat" (the quotes are included in the shortcut but have also tried it without them).  This shortcut is called, unfortunately it runs two copies of the autobuild.  The first is Autobuild.bat and the second Autobu~1.bat.  This only happens on Win98 machines!  Is there a way to run this only once?

Thanks

i'm thinking that a quick solution to this would be to limit the BATch filename to an 8.3 format.  say, rather then use the AutoBuild.BAT name use the AutoBld.BAT ?

Not sure that would work.  I created a small test installer that only installed 2 BATch files and a shortcut in the Start-Up folder.  On reboot the shortcut would run a BATch file named Test.BAT which would then call the second BATch file.  On a Win98 box, Test.BAT would run twice.

Thanks for the suggestion.
