launching an exe?

[daldaforce]

Hi,

If I use Flash to create an autorun menu and then want to run different setup.exe files from various folders what command do I use on the buttons to say run setup.exe from the folder "setupfiles" which would be in the same directory as the autorun file...like on a CD for instance?

If you use get url it tries to save to disk or open from location and the EXEC command dosent do it?? unless I'm doing it completely wrong?

any help would be much appreciated...

Thanks for your reply...

It does work for a file which is on the same level as the actual Flash exe file so for instance ("exec", "setup.exe")but the problem is the setup file is in another folder making it need to look at ("exec", "setupfiles/setup.exe") and when i try this nothing happens. This is really frustrating as I cannot change the architecture of the final CD that this will all go onto so I need to be able to launch from a different level...any help would be great!!
