Hi, every one I am creating some sort of modification and localization of a program what I want is to backup files that are going to be replaced during install and restore them during uninstall I used to use Advanced installer but it does not do the job exactly as I want so I combined the operation between Advanced installer and Setupbuilder . The job is done perfectly but the cost is large installation file in size .. I want to reduce that using bat to to backup files and another bat file to be run to restore the back up the problem is .. Advanced installer does not support bat files it supports only exe files ... It will be nice if I have only bat file to backup old files and install new files .. and another bat file uninstall new files and restore the old files .. It will be light and fast and reduce the installation size ..

Any help will be appreciated ..

Thank you
