Hello:
This is my first post.
I have put together a software package that I use for teaching beginning guitar. I purchased WinzipSE to help me move the package from the CD to the user's computer (I am so new at this that I don't know the programming terminology' my apologies.)
I prepared a WinzipSE of the application to have it placed on the C drive of the user's computer.
I also wanted to place a shortcut to the application onto the desktop and then open the application. So I prepared a winzipse (.exe) file of the shortcut to the application. WinzipSE is set up so that it will run a command line after the self-executing file has completed.
The .exe file executes OK (i.e. the shortcut is placed onto the desktop), but I get a command line error message when it comes to opening the application on the C drive. WinzipSE runs the command line from the folder it is in; in this case the desktop.
Here is what I need:
I need the path to tell WinzipSE to go from the desktop to the root directory (C drive) and open a file in a directory in the C drive.
Here is the command line I wrote (it doesn't work):" ..\Beginning_Guitar_1A\eBook.pdf".
I would appreciate any suggestions. It seems it shouldn't be that difficult. Thanks!
Hank H.
