Ed - the switches worked great. Thanks ever so much. One thing I don't understand about the installation process is why it leaves a setup subdirectory in the application directory after setup has run. I've never encountered this before. I am using the network setup - zipping it up - sending it out to the field via email (they hate floppies) where it will be copied to a temp file and unzipped. They will then execute the bat file with setup.exe /Q0 which will do the "invisible install". This all appears to work correctly except it not only installs the application in the appication directory but a setup subdirectory is installed in the application directory also. I would prefer not to have the setup subdirectory. Any thoughts?

Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

Gaylen




>Ed - Where would you suggest I look for documentation on the /Q0 and /Q1 switches. I could not find anything on them in the resource materials I have.

>The reference material for Office contains a description of Office97's command line switches, most of which are available to VFP Setup Wizard's SETUP - you might want to check Appendix B of the Office 97 docs after listing the supported switches. The last time I checked, Setup Wizard supported:
/A Administrative (puts setup in place for network installs)
/G filename Generate installation log file
/Q[0|1|T] Quiet mode - several UI options
/QN[0|1|T] Quiet mode with reboot suppression
/R Reinstall
/U[A] Uninstall [A removes all shared components as well]
/X filename Set network log location to track install instances
/Y Install without copying files



>The Office 97 reference goes into a bit more detail. Most of what I've learned about it came from experimentation and hacking the install files before I switched to wrapping a Setup Wizard runtime install with InstallShield, letting InstallShield manage everything but the runtime file install (I launch it inside an InstallShield script with /QNT to suppress user input and the Setup Wizard display screen.)

>If you use non-interactive installs with the /Q options, you'll need to check for a SETUP.STF in the default target directory, and either erase it or use the /R command line switch as well.
