   Funny - great minds think alike.  I dug out the old Pdox 9 manuals from the   
   back of the closet yesterday, but couldn't find anything.   
      
   After rereading my client's request, I think I misinterpreted what the IT   
   guys want.  They were complaining that they got a permissions error, and   
   want an automatic installer for Server2008 that won't squawk.  Reading a   
   Rick Kelly Vista post, it seems this can be accomplised with a manifest file   
   (his was for BDE).   
      
   Am I on the right track?  I don't have Server2008, and google hasn't been   
   much help yet.  This would be for Pdox 9 Runtime & BDE.   
      
   --- Email excerpt: ----   
   We have attempted to install my app but the first installer will not progress.   
   We are having permission issues with the installation due to the elevated   
   permission requirements of 2008 server. I have attached the initial error   
   message related to the first installation step.   
     Error: 'I could not create the fonts directory,   
             please ensure you have selected a valid path and try again.'   
      
   Is there a way for you to prepare 2008 server compatible installer(s) for   
   us so we can move forward and get the new environment pushed out.
