>My client wishes to distribute the app on CD. They will probably ask me what the options are. If they just want to install from the CD as if it was a stack of diskettes, I will have to get the stuff from the setup wizard onto the CD. If they want to actually run the app from the CD, I would have to make it install the .DLLs and runtime module, tell it where to put FOXUSER.DBF and .FPT, and tell my .app where they were put. Could someone please give me an idea of what is involved?
I just did this using the Setup Wizard. I had my disk images go to
Netsetup. After that, I copied the files that the Setup Wizard made
to a drive on the network. example.. copy c:\myprogram\netsetup\*.* M:\NETSETUP... and told my user to go to M:\NETSETUP and run SETUP.EXE.. and it works and everybody is happy... I am sure you can do the same thing and copy the files from NETSETUP onto your CD ROM.
also... If they want to run you program from the CD, just copy you EXE
onto the CDROM, but remeber to SET YOUR DATA PATH to a place that can hold
all the data.
also, you can have some of the program on the CD and the FOXUSER/DBF/FPT
on the user's local drive (I think)..
Hope this helps...
