How about a launching a batchfile instead of the exe?

Something more or less like this if my brain remembers right.
File: LAUNCHAA.BAT
@echo off
xcopy \Cdfiles\AerialAntics\*.* %temp%\AerialAntics /S /E /C /Q /H /R <y.txt >nul
%temp%\AerialAntics\aa.exe
deltree %temp%\AerialAntics <y.txt >nul
rd %temp%\AerialAntics /s /q <y.txt >nul
exit

File: Y.TXT
y[ENTER]
y[ENTER]

Where [ENTER] is the enter key, not the literal text.

It will report one bad command or filename because deltree is removed from XP, and rd /s does not work pre-XP (to my unsure and not very certain knowledge).
