Making separate install and application disks
To make my program less likely to be copied, I was hoping to make one cd install all the files and another cd have the actual program. I tried to do this but I guess having the program seperate, it was unable to locate the files. Anyone know how to make this work?
Re: Making separate install and application disks
My guess is that the application that runs from the first disc would extract the installer to some temporary directory like application data, then it would launch it with the drive name so it knows where to get the files from. The disc program should then close. Then, it would copy the files, ask for the next disc, and then copy the rest of the files.
I have a tutorial on using Binary data so you can extract the installer from inside the program that runs from the disc.
