>I'm having a problem with the setup wizard for VFP 5.0a. In Step 4, I am trying to indicate a Post Set-up Executable that will automatically start my application after it is installed. I tried indicating a plain batch file here but the after it would run I couldn't get it to close automatically. So I created a one line VFP executable with the line "run c:\apps\hlthlife\hlthlife.exe." This would work as intended, but I get an error when I run setup. The setup program doesn't even start copying files. I get the following error:

Jeff,
It may not know where the runtime files are.. What is the after install routine that you want to do?? Maybe you can include a pif file, so that when the batch file is run, configured to close after it is done running??
Thanx!
