A bug I noticed, it only does this if you reload a project into the designer
after it has been saved once. I have fixed this but not uploaded the fixed
version yet, as I would like to add some more features first, unless the
demand is really there.

Well after the setup is created, you can rename it to anything you like
(Setup3.exe was my reference, but Setup.exe is a good bet as winzip will
recognize this and launch it instead of unzipping).

This is down to the windows file dialog box. Clicking on a folder only opens
the folder. What is needed is a DIRECTORY TREE or something, but thats as
and when Dave Cuny programs the wrapper for this.

Problems with creating shortcuts make this impracticle. If you want
shortcuts to appear on the start menu (other than uninstall) you must make
these beforehand, and this means the program cant change location or the
shortcuts are rendered invalid.

Thanks for your comments and questions. Spectre Setup, as you can imagine,
will be an ongoing project, and I welcome any opinions on new features.
