Hi

Check out www.gentee.com for there CreateInstall products. I have been using them for a couple of years because I had problems with the installer in VFP not handling files with the same name in different folders. CreateInstall is inexpensive and works just fine. You might also want to check www.lindersoftware.com for Setupbuilder. It is extremely easy to use.
