Hi;

I want to create an installation package for a software program I
wrote. I cant quite get the hang of Winrar SFX Options. My program Is
called: "PDC.EXE" I want it placed in "C:\PERSDATA" directory that it
will create. I want a shortcut to the app placed on the desktop. I also
want a group in the Start Menu/Programs called "Curran's Persdata".
Please advise the lines that I need to add. I have been trying this:

but for some reason a shortcut is not placed on the desktop and there
is no folder in the Start Menu Programs Area area.

D, "Pdc.exe", "c:\persdata", "Persdata", "Persdata"
P, "Pdc.exe", "C:\persdata", "Persdata", "Persdata"


Thanks for any help
Pat

It's not impossible to do with WinRAR, but
you will be better off not confusing a program
that is an Archiver first, with programs that
are meant to do installations first.

You are one of those people who starts to quickly
ask questions without a look at what might
be there to help you out.
