The setup.exe is a VFP application. All it does is copies some files from the CD to the local harddrive, installs some DLL and INI files, and updates the registry.

>>I am trying to build a custom installation application which will basically copy some files from a source and update some registry settings. I built the install application and it works fine if the system has VFP installed on it. According to the documentation, all I need to include with the EXE is vfp6r.dll and vfp6enu.dll to make it run. However, I just tried putting the EXE along with the DLLs on a CD and tried using my application on a Win2000 Server machine. When I attempt to execute the EXE, I received the following error:
