>>>Ok, that is what I don't know. Where does this code reside? Is it just a text file with a ??? extension? How is it executed on the local machine? Sorry, this is new to me.

I guess I'm not seeing how using WSH is better way to load an application EXE than just using Foxpro code itself compiled in it's own EXE. How do I ensure WSH is installed on all the hundreds of PCs involved in an update? Do I need to include code that installs WSH? How does the VBS file execute? Is it automatically done when it is first detected on the hard drive of the local machine? Do you realize now how much I don't know about this?

Someone asked a question yesterday on launchers and installation management; I gave a reasonably good explanation of why I choose to use a WSH/InstallShiedl?SDT mix for my update environment. Take a peek at my messages froom yesterday; there are only ~30 or so and it sticks out like a sore thumb.
