John,

>1) Nope. InstallShield sits on top of Windows Installer, which will write basic entries into the registry for the app on install.

Drat. Apparently, when installing on some machines that are running W95 or W98 we can overrun the capacity of the registry. We have some 5-800 files we install and evidently InstallShield adds an entry for all of them. Ughhh.. <g> Jeff (our InstallShield guy) just told me that the 'official' email response he got from InstallShield was a "you're running a special FoxPro version and you have to upgrade to get all the features" message so no joy there..

>2) Yes. In the General Information tab (under 1. Organize Your Setup), there is the option to "Disable Remove Button"

Well, I guess if I can't avoid adding the Registry entries I might as well keep the removeal stuff, eh? <g>

Thanks again John..
