installation problem

[pierre]

Hi all

I have an application that i want to distribute on a compact disc
Each day i will give a cd with the same program but different data to a
person to install on a laptop.

I want to make a batch file that copy the files to a directory and put
a shortcut on the desktop to that directory.

How can i create a shortcut in a batch file.

Any clue for an installation program?

What are you guys doing
when distributing an access apllication ( with 0 budget !! for sorftware
third party installer). Is there an install program somewhere that i missed?

This newsgroup seem the closest to my problem, please indicates if other
are best

Regards,
Pierre

I would recommend a different approach. Why reinstall the app every day?
Once the app is installed, all you really need is the data, so just put an
mdb on the CD that contains only the data and write a routine that pulls the
data from the CD into where ever it keeps its data.
