Hmmm... Not to fond of any of the options. :)

Maybe it would help if I explained my objective. I am trying to get InstallShield working with the VFP files. I found Mike H's template for 6 and am starting with that. I need to test if it's working, but all our computers have VFP on them already so it's hard to see if it installed the runtimes properly. I can uninstall VFP the first time with the uninstaller, but if anything is wrong with my installation, I don't want to use my uninstaller since that might be messed up, too.

I can't believe what a PITA it is to get this thing working with VFP. The program itself is nice, but I feel like I'm working in the dark with installing the VFP runtimes. I've searched all the messages here and the most helpful thing I found was MH's template. Unfortunately, it's not for this version of Installshield, so it isn't exacltly plug and play.

Thanks,

Michelle

Even if there is a install logfile that contains everything that was installed and where, registry entries, etc., I still think that is a bad option. Obviously Opt #1 is a joke. So Opt #2 is best, IMHO.
