Try this... put the folders in a ZIP, then make an exe out of the zip through this free utility. I assume you have one main folder with then other files and folders within that.

Download the free Zip 2 Secure EXE Creator here:

http://www.chilkatsoft.com/chilkatsfx.asp

Here is how this works - and its a snap - I am outlining this for you to cut down on frustration, and also to learn how to use this myself as I have never used it before (took me less than 30 seconds to do what you wanted it to do although I have used Wize installer for years):

1- Using any ZIP utility, create a zip file that holds all your folders and files.
2-Open the above utility ("Zip 2 Secure EXE Creator")
3-Select your ZIP file you created in #1 above by pressing Browse in the EXE Creator program.
4- in the line "Def Unzip Directory" make sure where you want the EXE to Unzip to, so if within your ZIP you have a folder titled DevAPP, and you want this installed to the root drive of C:\, then you would just type in C:\ and then the EXE Creator would put the folder at C:\DevAPP
5- Press Create and you are done.

This way you have control over where the install takes place, and all you need to do is deliver one simple EXE to your client. If he can click on the EXE, you are all set.

Hope this helps...


>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 I want to do, while in Development mode, is to copy all of the files from the C:\Dev\CMW folder onto any machine and be done with it. 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?)
