If you do an uncompressed build, you 'll get only one process with the name of your setup, but still an...

Hi danj6,

A computer can have multible IP adresses.
I don't think there is a command in InstallAware to get them.

Hi mathieu, Is your install localized? try the following: - copy the line with the messagebox in question to the clipboard - paste it below - delete the original line If that helps, something must be wrong in your translation files. When you build your installer, you have three choices: - CD or DVD ...
