Tom,
I suggest that you first decide which product you are using, and post your
question only to the appropriate newsgroup, instead of spamming all the
groups on the InstallShield news server.

Then there is a discription and an example for any InstallShield function in
online help, that should get you started.

If you don't have the time to learn InstallShield, you can visit
http://www.ibv-tools.de to find someone to create the setup for you.

Regards,

Stefan Krueger
