Change Path of the installed Program
guys,
maybe i dint clarify why i need that... ok, this is more to the binary executable where in TEMp, there will be all the beta testing files. Once it's moved to PRODUCTION, we have to make sure the users point to LIVE folder and this is not on single pc but all the users in diff pcs... Well, i hope you guys get what i mean :-D "Royce" wrote: just curious, but it matter that much that the folder is named temp instead of live "rupart" wrote: Hi, I installed a program and it's in start menu.
