>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?)

Define these constants:
#define MyDistDir "c:\dev\folkschool\distributedatatest\"

Just put this in the files section:

[Files]
; NOTE: Don't use "Flags: ignoreversion" on any shared system files
Source: {#MyDistDir}*.*; DestDir: {App}; Flags: ignoreversion

App will default to C:\Program Files\yourappdir

That's it.
