Very good idea. Too bad I didn't think of that earlier. Now I simply have not time for it. But from what others suggested, I should be able to wing it.
Thank you.

>>Hi,
>>
>>I will be at a new customer site tomorrow installing VFP 9 application on Windows 8 Prof. I don't have Windows 8 so I am looking for suggestions on how to proceed (since Windows 8, as far as I know, has a very different user interface). Usually I install my VPF 9 app as following:
>>1. Copy from CD all application files to the root of the C: drive as C:\MyApp\, C:\MyApp\Data, and so on.
>>2. Run SETUP.EXE (built with Installshield limited) that installs VFP 9 run-time
>>3. Create desktop shortcut to the application executable (e.g. C:\MyApp\AppName.exe)
>>
>>Any suggestions on how to accomplish the above on Windows 8 Pro?
>>TIA
