Are you using Install Shield Express?

If so - yes - you need to check that, too.

If you are installing with ISE (Install Shield Express) you need to check the following (at least) in the "Object/Merge Modules" in the ISE "application data" screen:

GDI Plus Redist module
Microsoft Component Category Manager library
Microsoft OLE 2.40
Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0 Runtime
Microsoft Visual Foxpro 7 Runtime Libraries
** if your application is non english then you need to check off a language "resource"
** and, if you have ActiveX controls in your program, you'll need
Microsoft Common Controls (5.0 and 6.0)


Have you built your first "SETUP.EXE" yet?

The first one is the hardest. And then you still have to practice a couple of more times. Make sure it installs and uninstalls on your development system. Then you will need to test and install on a system without VFP installed - make sure it is a clean system.

There is some more stuff here #861170. There are some other (older) threads available. Let me know how far you get with this.

It's always good to run a virus scan and a good disk clean before you build your set up.

I reccomend starting your system in safe mode command prompt (no networking) and then erase INDEX.DAT on your "C" Drive (frees up a lot of space and gives a better "defrag" result
C:\erase index.dat /s
If your system reports it cannot delete one of the INDEX.DAT files - then you have an exploit or virus running on your system. While in safe mode do a DEFRAG (for all drives) with the "F" option, schedule a chkdsk /f /r (for all drives) then restart the system in normal mode and let CHKDSK finish. When checkdisk is complete - shutdown the system. Let the drive wind down - and then restart it.

Your disk will run like a brand new Toyota!
