Hi Luke.

>I checked out the packager, and that's fine for future new installs, but right now I'd like to use the Installshield installer to install these ocx's. And the way I'd like to do that is to trap the OLE error and prompt the user to run the installer at that time. I tried it manually and it works fine. Any idea as to how I can do that?

Rather than trying to trap the error, prompt the user, manage elevating to an admin account, and running the installer from VFP, wouldn't it just be easier to give all your customers an installer and tell them to run it to upgrade?
