>The setup wizard shipped with VFP50 isn't meeting our needs (specifically, it isn't creating the program group on the start/programs menu and doesn't have an option to create a shortcut on the desktop). Looking at PC-Install and InstallShield. Any suggestions/feedback? Thank you!

The Wise product is very easy to setup and create a single .exe install package with support for Start menu installation and full uninstall etc. and it knows all about VFP. You'll have a setup running in minutes! They've also got a *free* fully functional demo. (www.wisesolutions.com)
