Out of ideas except for making sure you are running VFP 5.0a and also to check the third parties web sites for updated DLL's for new OS's.

Good Luck

>Hi Charles,

>1. Definitely setting up third party apps. I know this may be a problem. DynaZip, some old T-Base Imaging OCR's, eg. As mentioned previously, after the 'failed' setup, the app runs okay on Win NT/XP, even these third party apps. My ultimate plan is to test the app with each of these removed and see what happens. XP gives an error report when my program 'fails' indicating a problem with the MS Setup app, however this may be referring just to one of the third party apps instead.

>2. The no problems in win95 and 98 which are machines without the dev version. These are my customer's machines and I have been distributing the app for several years now.

>>1) Are you installing any third party apps, activeX ...
>>2) When you say you have no problems in win95 and 98, are you referring to this exact setup on a machine which does NOT contain the development version of VFP

>>3) Can;t think of a 3rd question

>>>Hi Charles,

>>>Yes, I believe that I am installing as administrator. In Win XP (home edition) all users have been set up as administrator.

>>>>>I currently distribute my VFP v5.0 application using files created from the Setup Wizard. Everything works great in Win95 or Win98 (haven't tried ME), however, the setup stops at the very end of the setup when run on an WIN NT or Win XP.

>>>>>Once the setup is closed using Task Manager, I notice that the app has installed okay, even the icon appears on the desktop from the post setup exe that I include.
