Hi,

I need an example C source program to show me how
to write an install.exe program for windows.  I have
a product which I need to package so that my end users
can install on their systems by simply typing A:install
or B:install.

My product runs under windows, and I have designed a
program ICON which is attached to it (using ICON designer)
and there is also a .GRP file for the group ICON.

So the end user's diskett will look like:

            install.exe
            product.exe
            product.GRP

I know the progman.ini file needs to be updated to
append an entry for my product.GRP. Plus I need to 
copy the product.exe file into a user specified
directory.


Does anyone have an example of how to do this or have
an idea of where I can get one?  A skeletal piece of
code would be great that I could modify for my needs.


thanks,


Albert Lopez
