>Hi:
> I have an application that has three EXE's and several tables. The main install works perfect using the VFP 5.0a Setup Wizard with SP3. However, when I attempt to use the Setup wizard to perform an update of the three EXE's on a workstation; one of the three EXE's does **not** get updated--the other two *do* get updated. Here are my three EXE's:

>(1) Applied the latest Setup Wizard patch--has no affect.
>(2) There are no long file names/directories in my application
>(3) Problem occurs in NT 4.0; unknown on Win 95
>(4) If I delete SECUREFL.EXE *before* I perform the update, then the updated EXE *does* get installed.
>(5) If I create a simple EXE--the same name as SECUREFL.EXE and about 10 k in size--the update works perfect.

Hi Paul,
Are you incrementing the Version/Release/Build ? Setup uses this to determine if it should install, not the file date. Also there is a UT FAQ available about the Setup wizard.
