>I thought the standard method for deploying Visual FoxPro 9.0 applications is InstallShield Express, and that it comes included on the VFP CD. However, while trying to install it, and briefly going through the license agreement, I see a legal problem there: it seems it is distributed as "Evaluation software", and the license agreement states: "...you may not use the Evaluation Software to create publicly distributed computer software or for any other commercial purpose." So, how am I (or my clients) supposed to distribute commercial software?

Microsoft was changing installation packages like some people change underwear. If I am not mistaken the last three versions of VFP shipped with three different install packages. You should forget about all of them and look at the suggestions that have been made already in this thread.
