>I have a VFP 5 application that I want to distribute on my web site. I am using the Setup Wizard and selected the NetSetup option to create all of the files in one image folder. I thought that I would use WinZip to zip up the files and then create a self extracting exe. I would like to have the self extractor automatically run setup.exe. Also, do I have the user install this in my current program directory for the application? This new app is just a utility to a larger app.

WinZip has an add-on that lets you build a self extractor that can run another program (SETUP.EXE) by default. It's cheap and integrates directly with WinZip. I use for any apps that require VFP configuration portions that can't be handled by standard installers.
