Rick,

I was just starting to get familiar with that, and now it looks like I should drop it in favor of InstallShield. Are we to conclude that Visual Studio Installer will no longer be appropriate for VFP since VFP is no longer part of Visual Studio?

I think that Microsoft is headed towards everyone using the Windows Installer. Apparently at the time that VFP was ready to ship the WI wasn't. Hence the InstallShield option. Where we go from there is, I suppose, determined at this point but I don't have that info.

I like InstallShield as well BTW.
Best,
