Thank you very much. I will 'hack' that file.

I have not done this, so I am not certain that it's going to work under VFP6's implementation of the Setup Wizard, and I use InstallShield to avoid issues like having to hack an .STF), or to modify the flags for the CopyFile verb to install your .DLL, but it's completely undocumented, and I would avoid this if at all possible.
