The major player in this area seems to be Viscomsoft but their Data Burner software does NOT work with Vista and after paying $US100.00 licence fee they don’t seem to want to reply to my emails.

Rex,

Thanks...my pleasure

I've burnt close to a hundred CD with this. Even automated word to print the label.

Since I make a personalized CD (with a license number on it) I have to make a separate install for every CD.

I'm using the free install creator from http://www.clickteam.com/eng/installcreator.php which you can operate from vfp
Something like
cmd = ["C:\Program Files\Install Creator\ic.exe" /b "D:\Project\Distribution\Adam.iit"]

and then run this through Wscript
It will take you half a day to create a template (.itt) with all the stuff needed. But after that, it's fine

ps: Should you use xml, it is best to install xml4 sp2 as well

take the msxml.msi download )

You can add the msi file to run after (or at the end) of your install (.itt)
