>I routinely use a Setup Wizard distribution containing the VFP runtime within InstallShield scripts to put the runtime in place - create a WebSetup, throw it on the distribution CD, and fire it silently using LaunchAppAndWait() in my script with the appropriate command line switches - that way I don't have to keep track of the VFP runtime requirements within the script context. YMMV, but it's really easy to do, and the one thing Setup Wizard does do well is put the runtime in place.

Hi Ed,

I notice that you have posted this suggestion several times in UT and it is very interesting to me. (after reviewing past articles about the distribution problem)
Currently I look for the runtimes from distribution files created by the VFP setup wizard. Though not so good, but it works to a certain level.
Would you please give me an example of Installshield script code that uses LaunchAppAndWait().

Thanks in advance,
