Terry,
What I did is set INSTALLDIR to be [CommonFileFolder]Vfp which I created in the Set INSTALLDIR window (that shows the list of folders). Then it was easy. I copied the .OCX file to this folder in the Files section of the InstallSheild tree and it seems to have done the job.
Thank you so much for your input.
