Apart for going through the copied files one-by-one and turning off
the read-only attribute? :)
Possible solutions:
1. Use a commercial installer instead of dragging the files over.
(InstallShield, Wise, etc.)
2. Have the standalone do a check on startup for the read-only
attributes of the other files, and where necessary reset them. This
can be done with the shell command I believe. <get shell("attrib
myfile -r")> but this is untested, so check carefully first. (Perhaps
someone can confirm this.)
