>We are seeing a serious performance problem in the VFP Limited Edition InstallShield that came with VFP7. The issue is when you are adding files to a folder even if it is to a predefined folder like [INSTALLDIR]. The more files you add, the slower it gets. It gets to the point of no value which is around 150 files [which can be 75 VFP reports].

Got it. It eventually dropped the files (I used the VFP7 dir), but when I went to expand the vfp7 folder, it crashed.

Man, talk about your conspiracy theories. :-) I'm currently testing with the full version. It's still cranking, but I'll bet I get the same results.
