Thanks for the reply radix I meant only the profile.xml file alone is extracted or copied to C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data folder The rest of the files in SFX archive is extracted to the sfx default output folder - "program files" folder I don't know what additional sfx scripts commands is required to input on the sfx comment section Or create a run.cmd file to do the profile.xml file copying & add " /w run.cmd " without quotes after this sfx command script Setup=software.exe Example; Setup=software.exe /w run.cmd TempMode Silent=1 Overwrite=1 But I dont know what is command line is use to create the run.cmd file
