Well, I've managed to create a simple intall program that copies all 16 of the ocx files we are using in the app into the \windows\system folder and register them. The app then runs (even without registering the the vfp6r.dll (which I will do in the finished product).

I'm learning but I'm still not happy with all of the requirements. For example, we used to be able to distribute a demo on 2 diskettes. When the user was finished, all they had to do was delete one folder and their computer was as good as new. Now it appears we will have to go to a CD, intstall files in multiple folders, and register a bunch of files. This means we will have to spend some time developing a decent uninstall program that will fully clean up the mess because I rarely see an uninstall program that deletes everything.

I think it is very rude for a developer to scatter files around someone's computer then have the nerve to tell them in the uninstall program that "some things may have to be manually deleted". I'm not going to place our company in that low life class.

Anyway, I'm not going to win the battle so I'm just going to shut up. Thanks for the help even if we don't agree.
