Rahter than reinvent the wheel, why not use Setup Wizard to create a runtime install, and then fire it silently from within the install process created with another tool? This does a bang-up job for me using InstallShield's LaunchAppAndWait() function; you need to be careful to suppress a reboot from the Setup Wizard install, and to limit the visibility and access to user interaction bt adding a couple of command line switches. As long as distribution on floppy disk isn't an issue (I don't support it, since many of my installs run well over 100MB for the distribution IAC) it's a nice, clean way of handling VFP app installs; let the Setup Wizard do the one thing it's really good at (putting VFP's runtime files in place) and do everything else with another tool.
