>We are currently in the market for the best installation program for Visual FoxPro and was wondering if anyone is using Install Shield. If so, what are the good and the bad aspects of using Install Shield? Are there any problems with installing the Visual FoxPro runtime? Or registering Active X controls? How about workstation installation vs. full system installation? Any problems noted? We have looked at a demo of Install Shield and a demo of Wise Installation System to compare the two and like Install Shield better. Any input to this subject would be appreciated. Thanks for any responses!!!

We use InstallShield. It's awesome! Not exactly the most intuitive interface in the world, but once you figure it out it's easy. We've done both full installs and workstation installs and haven't had any problems. I've made the assumption that it automatically registers anything you put in the winsysdir. I'll be checking that this week.

It also has its own scripting language that would be pretty powerful if you took the time to learn it.

The installs look much more professional than when you use the VFP setup wizard.
