This is best done outside of VFP's Setup Wizard, since if the runtime is installed by Setup Wizard, it may not have completed installation of the runtime until the system reboots. I'd recommend writing a small app in another language to create a shortcut on the desktop using either the Windows API or Windows Script Host's Wscript.Shell object to create the desktop shortcut, or switching to using Visual Studio Installer 1.1 (available for free from MS;
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads has it listed.) For WSH information, see the links in my sig block and the 5 part article that George Tasker and I wrote in the fall of 2000 for VFUG -
