Hi,

Thanks for your replies could you give me some pointers on using 'createobject' and shell. Here is my adjusted code.

Code:
COPY "f:\PACKAGES\gimp2.2\gimp.kix" "C:\gimp.kix"

If EXIST("c:\gimp.kix") = 0
  RUN "f:\packages\gimp2.2\gimp2.exe"
   Else
    cd "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\"
     Shell "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.2.exe"
;Run "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.2.exe"
Endif


Regards

Steve
