>>Using the setup wizard in VFP50, how do I update the start in property to a different path than the target directory for the icon? I have the data files in a different directory than the exe files. When I install the application, the target directory property is updated correctly, but the start in property is updated with the same path. Is there a way to update these WIN95 properties independently?

If the lib file in C:\DIR1, the start up directory will be C:\DIR1 (except you have a lib file in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM). Do you put SET PATH and SET DEFAULT to tell the computer the path?

Thanks for you help Sunny. Let me try to explain further. My vfp500 file and exe file is in C:\DIR1 while my data files are in C:\DIR1\Data. My question is --is there a way to update the WIN95 icon 'start in' property (under the shortcut properties) without having to manually change the 'start in' property?

During the install I let the user decide which directory they want to install with the default being C:\DIR1. This is set up in the setup wizard step 5 by setting the default directory to \DIR1 and in Step 6 under the PM Item for the exe file by putting %s\main.exe in the command line option.

In my main.prg I 'set default to sys(5)+sys(2003)to point to my directory.

Does all this make since???

Thanks
