Hi Ed..  Thanks very much.  You helped me solve this.  I took your advice and found that this line was missing in files:

Source: numismatic_cha_cha.exe; DestDir: {app}; Flags: IgnoreVersion

I put that in and it works now, but have an unrelated problem again.  I'll start a new thread since it is unrelated.  This is the 3rd or 4th iss file I have worked with.  Seems there are always problems.  But I think it will be easier after I got through this one.  Thanks again for your help.
