What kind of problem Ken?  The initial double slash?  The path is verified,
at least according to "if there is a file xyz..."  If the path is in fact
the problem, how should it be formatted to work correctly?

I'm using (what I believe is) the exact same path in the dummy installer
apps and they appear to work as expected.  So my impression is this is an MC
issue, though I don't know what else to do to confirm this.

Thanks for the suggestion.
