>>Gary, I quite agree about MS being lazy here. However, it IS possible to use InstallShield successfully once you get the master list of files from VFP. And doing it this way DOES have a major advantage: You know you're only installing the files VFP thinks you'll need. MS would no doubt give us a list including all the OLE files, MSGraph, etc., even if not needed for every project.

Bret, I recently installed and un-installed the same software about 10 times while beta testing, using both setups. There is no comparison! Until it switched to Installshield I was having a lot of trouble trying to clear out old files. Also, there are fewer files on the setup disks, and MANY more options.
