No you don't need to Setup routine. You will need to know what files need to be included. If you only have a VFP only application then you need the EXE and the VFP runtimes. The runtime file information will be in the runtime modules you get from Wise.

The data can be in that directory or you can copy it to any directory you want. You can make Wise create a subdirectory under the installation directory and copy the files from your Data directory to it. You could also make Wise prompt the user for a destination directory for both the program files and the data files, store those to variables and use them to install in two separate places on the hard drive. NOTE: I wouldn't recommend this but you do have the flexibility to do it.

With Wise, copying files is very simple. You drag the File Copy (I believe that's the name) component into your installation package and fill in the necessary information. Wise will then compile the files you specified into the Setup.EXE it creates. When you are done, you could have a very large EXE but that should be okay.
