Josh --

Thanks for the quick response and your advice. I will check out the SETUP.INF contents right now.

It will keep track of all the files opened by your app. I've found this of limited use because, for example, if I use my app's e-mail feature Setup Specialist includes all the files my e-mail system opens as well as the ones required for my app.

For example, some of the obvious ones are VFP500.DLL and any .OCXs the application uses. But there must be others...(?)
