A nice demo of Installshield express was given on one of the recent UT conferences, and I have since downloaded and taken a loot at it.

Doing a setup with IE is just as about as simple as the VFP setup wizard, with the addition of a lot of easy-to-implement features, such as clearer and more concise registry editing, desktop icons, additional installations such as MDAC, and ODBC driver installation and setup, and more.

My company had stopped using the setup wizard some time ago in favor fo the full InstallShield product. That one is not as intuitive, does have a steeper learning curve, but once the scripts are generated, your installations are pretty well bulletproof, and can be re-used time and again as you upgrade your product. One of its nice features is the ability of registering your application's path requirement in the registry, thus eliminating forever the path errors when a user gets crosswise in your application, especially in an area you have overlooked trapping an error in.
