fscommand question

i'm creating opening installer screen in flash 8 i'm exporting exe. job launch other exe files, via fscommand. part doesn't work.

here's code have attached button:
installpoint.onrelease = function () {
fscommand("exec","setup.exe");
fscommand("quit","");
}

so, click button instance name installpoint, , it's supposed launch setup.exe, , quit flash player. quitting part works fine, know button script running. launching part doesn't work @ all.

in same directory flash exe, have file setup.exe. so, isn't issue filepaths. , i've tried launching setup.exe directly, works. it's line isn't working:

fscommand("exec","setup.exe");

any suggestions?

from help:

the exec command runs in subdirectory fscommand only. in other words, if
you use exec command call application, application must reside
in subdirectory named fscommand.
