Hi Claude,

Well, maybe Mike Saunders from Microsoft can comment since it was his tip, but, I'm assuming that all the MSI stuff is there so that you can edit it. It's not like we're cracking the binary code...

All my tip suggested was editing the MSI file that ISEVFPLE creates. I'm certainly not suggesting or advocating making any changes to ISEVFPLE itself. If you want to get fancy, like extensively customizing the install dialogs, using billboards, using custom actions, etc, you are much better off buying the ISE retail package (or some other commercially available deployment product). There may be a way to do this kind of stuff by editing the MSI file, but from what I've seen it would be pretty tough. According to the ISEVFPLE docs, the retail ISE package allows creating a single setup, and creating localization files for it, so you can more easily deploy in multiple languages. With the VFPLE version, you can have localized setups, but you have to create each from scratch. The ISEVFPLE version has pretty much all the capabilities of the old Setup Wizard, and some new ones, like EULA and readme support. The ISE retail version has quite a bit more. The ISEVFPLE help file contains a section about things the retail version has that the VFPLE version does not.

I guess what you use depends on how fancy you want your deployment to be...
