Jerry,
No you can't use Wise with the MSM files. Wise does not use Windows Installer technology. Windows Installer is the base technology. InstallShield and Visual Studio Installer are used to put a user-friendly interface to this technology. Wise uses its own technique. Get on Wise's web site and see if tehy have created a VFP 7 include file yet. They have them for a number of technologies (ADO, ODBC, etc.) so they may havwe created one for VFP.

HTH.
