I created 3 different projects with Lw CVI 5.5.1. Is it possible to

create a unique Distribution Kit which will install all 3 applications ? Is it possible to ask the Distribution Kit to create a new section in the "Start->Programs" section named, say "MyApplications Suite", with 3 sub-entries, each for one of the 3 exe ?

Is it possible to ask the Distribution Kit to create a new section in the "Start->Programs" section named, say "MyApplications Suite", with 3 sub-entries, each for one of the 3 exe ?It would be possible to do this by adding groups or files to the default set in the distribution kit dialog. You could add the files (EXE, UIR, etc.) from your other projects as files to be included with the currently loaded projects. You can also changes the name of the Start menu group under the Advances settings. Uncheck use default and change the Program group name. You can select which groups of files to add icons for in the start menu by selecting the group and checking "Install Program Manager Icons". One thing that isn't supported in the dialog is creating subfolders in the Start menu (i.e. MyAppSuite->App1->app.exe). You would have to create a custom install script for that.

create a unique Distribution Kit which will install all 3 applications ? Is it possible to ask the Distribution Kit to create a new section in the "Start->Programs" section named, say "MyApplications Suite", with 3 sub-entries, each for one of the 3 exe ?What if the files are named the same? For example, I have app.exe and app.hlp. I want an icon for each, but it looks like I'm only getting one even though I have them in separate groups and selected Install Program Manager Icons for both... Windows will overwrite the one with the other, right? Can I specify the name? Or do I need to rename either the .hlp or .exe file to something else (not ideal.)

Thanks,
