Install Package from web site

[mikem57]

I created a package from packaging wizard then loaded this to my web site. When I run the setup.exe from my web page I receive:

Installation aborted becasue of missing or corrupt setup.lst file. please contact vendor for assistnace.

I have deleted this file and replaced it but same message.

Do I need to do something different since it is installing from my web site?

Thanks - LB coder wanna be

The setup.exe requires the setup.lst file. If you attempt to "run" it from the web, it is actually downloaded to your computer. This is not exclusive to this program. Every single thing you view or run from the web in this way is actually downloaded to your computer. It must be on your computer for you to access it. You'll find a large cache of "temporary internet files" that includes images from all of the web pages you've visited, and similar stuff.

This installer is not meant to be run "online." You'll have to zip the files and ask the user to download the zipped archive, unzip to a temporary location, then run the setup.exe program.
