>All I wanted was a simple Installation program like we used to have in VFP 6.0. INNO cannot do the simple stuff; it is a program that works, if you go their way, but if you want to do something different, it seems unwieldable, like a heavy sword you just cannot lift.

All of the subfolders contain all of the necessary development files, i.e., classes, forms, graphics, report, etc., along with the EXE file, config.fpw. INNO just isn't made to handle the simple stuff, or else my brain is far too simple (and that could be too!). (I wonder if all that fluoride I've been drinking has dummed me down?)
Hi Cecil,
have you been using ISTool, or just plain Inno?
I just used ISTool's wizard to generate a script to just copy files from a folder and here it is:
; Script generated by the Inno Setup Script Wizard.
; SEE THE DOCUMENTATION FOR DETAILS ON CREATING INNO SETUP SCRIPT FILES!
#define MyAppName "My Development Files"
#define MyAppVerName "My Program 1.5"
#define MyAppPublisher "My Company, Inc."
#define MyAppURL "http://www.example.com/"
