>How do I do what you are describing? I've never created a dll or a setup install within an install. I think this is on the right track of what I need. Is there somewhere I can go to get instructions on how to do this?

The VFP On-Line Help covers creating a Setup Wizard install in Chapter 26 of the Programmer's Guide (it has the bizarre name Chapter 26: Creating Distribution Disks); the VB On-Line Help covers creating installation packages for VB in the topic Starting the Package and Deployment Wizard. The Visual Studio Installer, which is based on the Windows Installer technology, can be downloaded from the MS web site; it generates transactional installsusing the Windows Installer, and offers additional capabilities which may be desirable for your use. There are also a number of third-party installation products; I use InstallShield; another good product is the Wise installer, and there are dozens of others available.

You need to develop an understanding of how you components interact, and what their operational requirements are in order to generate a working installation; it's not a magical 'push the button and I'll figure it out' routine.
