thanks that worked. but I do have another issue, i have a program that once its installed there is a batch file that runs from the cmd line, I can get the program to install but the batch file will not copy over to the dir it needs to be in. here is my command; "%wpipath\install\file name\program name.msi" {filecopy} "%wpipath\install\file name\batch name.cmd" C:\program files\file name\file name
