Bret, yes, the reason is that ISE VFP 7 and all of InstallShield is now based on Windows installer which requires different run-times for different versions of Windows. The ISE VFP 7 just includes them all with your setup. The full ISE version, however, just includes whichever one is actually needed based on the OS, thus keeping the install size way down. See

It seems to me that the setup.exe created by ISE is quite a bit larger than what was create by VFP 6. Has anyone noticed that in their application setups?
