Well.... I was messing with it this morning and decided to pick the option to make Several CABs. I picked 720k as the largest size. I then end up with a SETUP.LST, SETUP.EXE and 14 different CAB files for the project. The setup process was MUCH faster on the destination machine. I hope this helps someone else Mike Mike Kinasz wrote in message <7dbumo$dfk$1@news.onramp.net>... >This same project using the VB5 setup wizard installs in 30 seconds.
