InstallLib macro
Hi, Can I use the InstallLib Macro for exe's and not only for dll's?

libtype can only be one of the following:

DLL - Dynamic link library (DLL)
REGDLL - DLL that has to be registered
TLB - Type library or DLL that contains a type LIBRARY
REGDLLTLB - DLL that has to be registered and contains a type library

Why would you want to call it on an EXE?

"Why would you want to call it on an EXE?"
I did it because I have difficulties replacing exe's in installation if they're occupied with the instruction FILE and also when admin does it for restricted user...
While trying it, I found this macro works for EXE files.
Do you have an alternative solution for me of how to install EXE files that are currently used, like the installLib macro does?

Using InstallLib for executables should be ok, as long as it has version information.
