    Is there any way to make a file get installed last

    I need a file to be installed last but I cant figure out for the life of me how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Im using Install Creator Pro.

    Do you need it to be installed last because it depends on other files you install?

    If you install an EXE/OCX/DLL file that depends on DLLs, ICP checks the dependencies of this file and installs the DLLs first (if you install them too).

    Yes.

    I have an application that lists a number of titles the user can install. It links to the installers and once the programs are installed the exe files. But if you cancel the installer after the exe file is installed, the menu application will see the exe file even though all the required components have not been installed yet. I was just hoping that I could simply install the exe file last, but if I cant do that I can figure something else out. This just seems to be the easiest solution

    Thanks!

    Are files installed alphabetically? If so, you could exploit such knowledge in the naming of your file.

    Yeah, thats what I ended up doing. I put the file I needed installed last in a folder called ZZZ. Hey, its not pretty but it works.

    I think they are not installed alphabetically, they are probably just installed in the order they have been created in the source directory.

    Being able to order the files to be installed would a nice addition for the next iteration of IC. As far as I am concerned, I'd need that feature so the shortcuts to the files are ordered correctly in the Windows Start Menu.
