Hey Ed:

I found this post of yours an wanted to ask you how you handled running the VFP6 Setup.exe and its dialogs? I too use Installshield Pro and have been for some time now. I've once used LaunchApp or LaunchAppAndWait to fire sub-installations, but if you're calling Visual Foxpro's Setup.exe, did your users have to walk through VFP's installation interface? You said you fired it "silently" from within the IS script and am curious about how silent it was?

I'm in the process of moving a VFP 5.0 application to VFP 6.0 and remember the difficulty we had with runtime requirements for 5.0. I rather dread 6.0's.

Thanks for the tip.


>I still generate a Setup Wizard install to put the runtime in place - I fire it silently from within my IS script, and this relieves me of responsibility for figuring out the runtime requirements - if a new Setup Wizard distribution is released (like VFP5 - VFP6, or VFP6 to VFP6 SP3) I can simply replace the previous runtime install with the new one and not worry about it.
