Create an install using the VFP setup wizard and take a look at the setup.inf file it creates. I don't think it touches the registry unless you're installing ActiveX controls which I'm sure InstallShield will handle for you anyway.
>I have the need to use InstallShield with VFP5.0 and eventually with VFP6.0. Since the built in setup wizard does not tell you what gets installed (files, registry entries, etc., how do I know what to included? Has anyone been successful with InstallShield (v 5.1 or 5.5? I heard that Wize Install now includes a wizard for VFP, but my "day" job company has settled on InstallShield.
