I will consider this option if virtualisation is an issue. But it was a nice solution for me with Picture2exe 5.6 and earlier... How can I do that ?? On my virtual machine, Picture2exe 6.0 asks me every time I start it for the DirectX upgrade. Even when I only would like to modify an old slideshow, created with the 5.6 version. Perhaps... But Virtualbox is a free solution. Not WMmare JCG
