Chris,
Thanks for the reply. I was working from last years InstallShield project (this is a once-a-year release) and converted it over to the new InstallShield format (IS does this automatically). Everything seemed fine until I started doing test installs. Anyway, I was making changes to that project to try to figure it out and nothing worked. Then I created a new one from scratch and that one didn't work, either. Then I decided to take one that was designed to install the VFP 9 runtimes only and make a copy of it and modify it as needed. This finally got it working. I'm still not sure what caused the problem, but I'm up and running now.
Thanks again,
Russell

They then told me that they had mucked w/ a windows temp folder setting and had entered in an invalid character value to the variable. Thats just one example, but the MSFTKB has other examples of the temp folder being a problem.
