Interesting question in VFP 5 - what support files (DLLs etc.) are needed to produce an installation disks in order to make a complete installation of application on user's PC ? Other words - if to create setup by means of VFP Setup Wizard, all necessary files (application+support) are automatically placed onto install disks and no problem occurs. But VFP Setup Wizard is too limited and uncomfortable. I've decided to use a third-party installer CreateInstall 3.25. It's much more suitable. But now I have to know, what support files must be included on application setup disks.
I tried to determine support files, included by VFP Setup Wizard - there are about 40 files (DLLs,HLPs,CNTs etc.) with total size over 8 Mb !!! And this is only for very simple setup creation, i.e. when in VFP Setup Wizard I indicate only installation of VFP Run-time and FoxPro drivers. It results in 4-disks installation for a primitive application (EXE = 25 Kb) with support files (8 Mb). How can I find, what DLLs & Co I need to be included in install ? I don't understand, for instance, what's a purpose of MSJR32.DLL, MSCX3032.DLL and other lot of them. Are all of them of great importance ? Must I try to create setup without each of them to determine, if app will run or not ?
For information - I use Visual FoxPro 5.0a; my application works only with native VFP tables; no SQL involved.
Waiting for any advice.
