Hi Dave,
could you recompile the pub with file compression turned off and see if Bit9 has an aversion to compressed executables?.
Maybe it doesn't like the packer used by Opus.
I presume compressed Opus executables try to unpack to a temp directory before loading, but I'm not sure about this.
Otherwise it sounds like some sort of permissions problem...

I'm going out on a limb here, BUT are you muddling the published executable with the installer executable?

The first file I sent, was the installer, the SECOND was just the published one - which would just run not install.

And no, all you sent was the IMP file, not the installer (exe).

[Edit] having read Leo's post below, the different in sizes could very well be that you're running the published file not the installer.

Hi,

I downloaded the Installer Test.zip, extracted and loaded the imp file in Opus 7.4. Next I created created a setup program, plus I added two jpg files and installed to D:\LMS. This all went without a hitch. The two jpg were in the D:\LMS directory, as well as the Installer Test.exe, autorun.inf, and DWUnist.exe file. A total of 5 files. The created setup file, Installer Test Setup.exe file size is 2,928 KB.

It should be noted that the Installer Test Setup.exe file was in the same folder with, Installer Test.imp file.

OK, all. I'd not forgotten this, but got caught up in other work issues. I still have no solution.

Paul: The launch on a virtual PC eliminated Bit9 as an issue. That's the one that gets me! How can it be working for you guys and perform differently on a virtual PC here?

I'll see what else is in the responses...thanks for all the help. I assure you MJ hasn't been legalized here yet and we are sober as judges.
