The program(s) marked to Run is/are started like this:
FileN ! <- notice the "!" parameter; this is so that you can have your
program do special init type things and then exit (like
writing a new INI file).
When WINSTON INSTALLER is started it presents the user with an option of installing
your program into Windows' directory or any specified directory. If the
directory is not found, it will be created.
Naming of the program
---------------------------------
You are free to change the name of Winston Installer to best suit your needs. The
INI file must be named the same as the install program.
If you decide to call it "MYINST.EXE" then the INI must be "MYINST.INI"
