Thanks for the hint. I must admin that I didn't think about this. Although I am not sure whether this works correctly in all cases. First I would have to remove the archive attributes from all files, even the system files. But this should be possible and where it is not, it doesn't matter I think. But if an install tool removes attributes too it would fail. Still something to think over. Thanks.

Jürgen.
