Hello

I am trying to find a way of executing a specific program from within one of three directories. The program has three different installation options. The first part of the path is the same regardless of which package you install its the middle part that changes.

for example

C:\Program Files\Software Group\

This part of the path stays the same

The next part is the three different folders for the packages:

Package 1
Package 2
Package 3

it then finishes with the same path:

\Launcher\collection.exe

How can i get windows to start looking in the software group folder to find collection.exe and then execute it??

Figured this out just now!!! I was trying to over complicate things. I am now using old faithful dos naming convention to locate the file.

C:\Program Files\Software Group\softwa~1\Launcher\collection.exe

Works a treat!!!!!!!!!
