>>We have a VFP 5.0 app that runs on NT, but is packaged also for a demo to be run on Win9x (or even NT). I'm currently using the VFP Setup Wizard. I need to launch the demo app (same exe) with 2 different parameter settings. So, I need to place 2 separate shortcuts in the start\programs menu. The demo also needs to set the windows/dos path (actually add to the PATH statement already there if one exists).

>>I'm thinking of using InstallShield as a wrapper to the VFP SETUP to install the shortcuts and make the PATH entry (don't know how to do that one yet). Is this overkill? Can I do this with the VFP Setup Wizard or some other way? Also want to add shortcuts to the desktop if possible.

I agree completely. InstallShield Express 2 is great.
