Hello Grigore,

Initially, I had the CD set to autorun, but this presented some other issues that I prefer not to deal with.

I was hoping that there was some command that would recognize the source drive, then allow me to simply place a UNC path to the executable. I know there are some CDs that I install (games for an example) where a shortcut is placed on the desktop or under Start, then when you click the shortcut, a message appears asking for the CD and pointing to the CD drive from which the program was initially installed.

If Installshield does not support this functionality in the VFP7 version, perhaps the easiest solution is to simply write some directions on how to create a shortcut.

Thanks,

TFISHER
