Hi David,
Yes, do that, an example is my Cuckoo Clock app where I move everything
over to a folder. Which in the future is not necessary since that folder is now
an executable where nothing is needed in a folder any more but have not
released that version.
So, look at my app, at the bottom of the .vbs file is all the needed file
handling routines such as move, copy and so forth...

I would package the files in the package and then on startup create and move
the files accordingly into that folder using the FileSystemObject.
You could also in theory store a zip in the package and programmatically
extract the zip in the app's code.

Subject: A quick question about packing an app
If some of the info my app is using, will be stored in its own subfolder of
the User's Profile folder of WE, what will I do to include that subfolder and
its contents in the wepm package?
When choosing files to include in the package, can I choose just the actual
subfolder along with my vbs, ini and xml files? Will that install correctly on
the reciepents computer? Or, will I have to first install all the files right
in the profile folder, and then let my app move the needed stuff into the
subfolder?
NO, my vbs, ini and xml, they will all stay directly in the profile folder.
But the rest of the stuff, will be put in a subfolder structure.
I just wanted to make sure what is the best way of handling this situation,
before going ahead and packing up the wepm file. Better do it right, first
attempt. Smile. Thanks for any feedback.
