Once you figure out the bits of VFP that need to be included, Installshield works great. We have used it for several applications, distributed both internally and over the Web, and it makes life a lot simpler - really cuts down on the size of the installation set. No problems with ActiveX files. Personally, I think it looks more professional as well.
