You would be better off by using Visual Studio Installer http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/vsi11/default.asp.

>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:
>>>
>>>e:\setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
>>>
>>>I tried copying the DLLs to the c:\winnt\system32\ directory but I get a "Parameter is incorrect error". What is going on? How can I fix this? Is what I'm trying to do possible?

>>>Thanks in advance,
