So, now that we've established that the method I'm trying is "sub-optimal", "bad", "non-best-practice" etc... :) Is there anyone that could take a crack at converting this batch to simple WiX? Even converting these few lines would be enough to get me started: -------------------- CLIP ------------------------ @ECHO OFF SET TargetServer=ORION NET STOP "Local Collection Agent Service" XCOPY /C /V /Y %Source%\STLWA_NT.EXE "%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS" STLWA_NT -INSTALL STLWA_NT -SERVER %TargetServer% NET START "Local Collection Agent Service" --------------------/CLIP ------------------------ TIA. :) Vern -- Vern Graner CNE/CNA/SSE | "If the network is down, then you're Senior Systems Engineer | obviously incompetent so why are we Texas Information Services | paying you?
