>I am using InstallShield 6.31 Professional. Everything works fine except that foxhhelp7.exe doesn't get registered. I have to manually run "foxhhelp7.exe /regserver" to be able to start the help file from inside FoxPro. I was told by Deamon Scapin which files i need to install. He says in his reply that he install these two files and then run "foxhhelp7.exe /regserver", but i want the registration to be done by the installation program. Do you know how to check for the presence of IE4 or higher from within InstallShield ? What do you mean by "install the help update ?

In the installation programs I create, the installer will alert me if the user machine doesn't have IE4 or higher installed. I don't need to do anything. Perhaps InstallShield is more limited, in its capabilities, but check the options, perhaps you have to turn on some switch.

If you download the HTML help compiler from the Microsoft site, or use the one that came with VFP, there is one small programm called "Help Update". This one can be installed on user's machines if they have IE 3.something. I think it is no longer required if the user has IE4 or later. Again, the installation program should do all the work automatically.

All this gets done if I turn on a checkbox (when creating the setup program) to install Html Help Support. I don't know how the options are in InstallShield.
