>>>Hi All,
>>>I created a websetup via VFP6 setup wizard, and it installs on my NT server OK (only machine I had to try it out before sending it on CD to customer). During customer's install, he gets a message about needing IE5, and it fails later with a "...possible corrupt CAB file". He has 95 and no IE5. Does VFP6 require IE5 to install and run in a runtime environment?

>>Did you use the WebBrowser ActiveX control, possibly?

>No, no ActiveX controls at all. I'm using VFP6 SP3 setup wizard to create the compressed web version for installation. I'm trying to get a clunker machine set up with Win95 and no IE to duplicate what the client is using in his install.
>I sent an example help file (x.hlp) in the install - I wonder if .hlp help files require IE?
Did you include the Help system runtime files in your distribution? If you use HTML help, you need IE installed on the target system as well as the help system runtime files; I believe that IE 4 or at least the IE 4 runtime environment is needed. This is discussed in Chapter 23 of the Programmer's Guide.
You can create and use WinHelp style help files; VS 6 does not include the WinHelp compiler, but earlier versions did, and you can use them, or a Help compiler like RoboHelp. WinHelp is also discussed in Chapter 23.
