Thanx, but what i was trying to do is something like the Google(r) ToolBar , the windows(r) update site or some other sites that they give you a certificate and you say you trust the site, then the instalation begins.

    The Google tool bar is an Active X control. Active X is a M$ Windows technology and has been responsible for some interesting hacks. You can get more information on the details of Active X with a simple web search.

    While there are technically some ways to do stuff to client computers these techniques are unreliable as they are rightly recognised as security flaws and patched.

    If you really have to install in one directory perhaps writing an install wrapper is the go?

    cheers
