I'm confused, I've got to be missing something here.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/prodinfo/new.asp

From microsoft's website under New Development Tools states the following.

*InstallShield Express
Visual FoxPro 7.0 features InstallShield Express, so that you can deploy your Visual FoxPro applications easily. Visual FoxPro 7.0 also includes all of the files you might need to create data applications that access local and remote data.

When you run the install shield express it's actually not Install Shield Express Full Version but Install Shield Express Limited Edition for Visual Foxpro 7. You'll notice locks on many features because this is a limited edition. However, there is no upgrade for this product. You have to buy the full version of Install Shield to 'un-lock' these frozen features. The full version cost $349.00. When you buy the full version it doesn't even include the VFP7 merge modules?!?

There is a $150 upgrade for older versions of Install Shield Express but not the one that comes with Visual Foxpro.

I feel a little misled by marketing on this one. Maybe that's just the way the cookie crumbles though...
