>>>>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?

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.

Thanks Ed,
Chapter 23 should have been my first stop <g>. I left out the help system files. So, I'll be investigating using Hhupd.exe. I hope the IE runtime can be distributed this way to clients that don't have it.
I saw an article on Rick Strahl's HTML Help Builder in FoxTalk. WinHelp is tempting, but I want to use HTML help, so I plan to spend some time looking at Rick's new help builder.
Thanks again for the help.
