Uhhh.... I presume you're referring to my recent question regarding how to use a third party installer to distribute your VFP program.

If so, I have been told you can do a pretty good job by running the VFP setup wizard to figure out what files to distribute, and then plug the info into InstallShield. I have Installshield (have used it for some VB programs), and I can see that this will work fine, but I will have to be careful to include any ActiveX components as well - since InstallShield won't be able to detect which ones I've included (it does this automagically with VB projects).

Arnon suggested Wise 6.0 to me because it has a VFP5 template - but I wouldn't know if it will detect ActiveX and other included components from the project without being specifically told about them.

I'll probably stick with InstallShield, myself.

Good Luck
