I use the version of Installshield Express that shipped with VFP 8.0 as my installations are very, very simple.

However, when I select files for inclusion, if their dates are 'unambiguous' e.g. 23/08/2005 then the date shows in both panes the same '23/08/2005'. If the date on the file is 'ambiguous' i.e. has a different meaning in US format to UK format, then in the upper pane (Source computer) it shows in UK format, in the lower pane it shows in US format so 10/06/2005 (10th June) in the upper pane becomes 06/10/2005 in the lower pane.
Tnis then appears on the release CD as 06/10/2005.

Is there a way of making it keep all dates in UK format? Will the fact that it switches the dates have any strange consequences on the target machines e.g. 9th July 05 not installing over 10th June 05?
