Hi Claude,

>>
This works! We're planning on using this for the setup routine in our next product.
I wonder if there are ways to tweak the MSI to run extensions and exe's at other points in the setup besides the end??:)

Cool!

There is some info about MSI tweaking available. The URL below purports to show how to force a reboot after your install, among other things.

http://opensta.sourceforge.net/build.html

There is also some interesting stuff at http://www.installsite.org

Please note I don't specifically endorse any of these sites or their contents, but I wanted to point out that this type of information exists. A big advantage of VFP7 shipping with a Windows Installer based deployment mechanism is that tweaks, etc., from other installler deployed products should be in many cases applicable.

You may also want to check out the newsgroups at microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi for discussion about MSI issues.
