hello, I have a program which was create in director. i have installed it in my
PC and once it's installed i can do to the program files folder and look at all
the director files. I have EDITED four .dir files. and it's at a point where i
like it to be... now how would i recreate this program to be installed in a new
computer with my changes???

the CD i have receive originally from my boss was an EXE file. which walked me
through the installation process and installed the software...

then i edited the files in my local machine... cause i don't have access to
the original which was done else where...

can i now create an executable just like the CD??? and put it in a new CD and
install it in a different machine?

i'm very new at this... sorry if i'm not explaining it properly... thanks

Yea I'm, afraid I don't understand what you need, there are a number of
installer makers out there if you just need the end user to get the
files onto their H.D.

Hi,

From what I understand, you want to recreate a CD that would run through the
installation process with your updated files. I'm not sure how it was set up on the
original CD, but you could create a new installation package with an installer
program as JB suggested. I'd suggest you protect all your movies - convert them
from dir to dxr. When you're packaging the files, make sure you include all the
necessary components - all Director files, Xtras if they are external to the exe,
any external files like video.
