Iexpress package problem

I don't know where to post this so I'll start here. I created a simple batch
file to run some commands and copy files, and it works great. The folder
contains all the files and no matter where I put the folder, the batch file
works.

So I thought it would be even better if it was packaged as an EXE, I used
Iexpress on WindowsXP. When you double click the package the files expand
and the first few lines (Title, Color, and IF) I get a bad command or file
name. Also I can't set a variable with a really long path statement
(C:\documents and settings\userprofile\application data\symantec\ghost)

It has to be DOS related, the batch file can no longer run the If command
because it doesnt' know where to find that internal command. Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch!

Got it. With Iexpress you need to have the package launch a CMD file, not a
BAT file. When it expands the files then runs your "setup.cmd" file it will
invoke CMD.exe instead of Command.com. Just getting Iexpress to see a CMD
file in that drop down list was the trick...
