All my users a very comfortable with how my applications is updated (data and exe). I dont have very warm fuzzys that the new VFP 7 way of doing things with setup will be just as easy for my users. We have a post executable that runs after the install that sets up data files, registry entries, etc.. I have a feeling this may not be handled to well in Install shield express.

Good question Bret. My installs were all very simple so the Setup Wizard was fine. I don't know all the capabilities of IS Express but it would be good to have a handle on what it can/cannot do. Ed Rauh has advocated bypassing IS Express and going with full IS because with it you can do virtually anything. But I imagine the learning curve is somewhat steep for the full version. We have one guy here who has used it and he spent a good bit of time tinkering with it and still does not know all the ins and outs. You basically have to pay your money and take your choice. :-)
