It's weird. There's no need to create shortcut for VC++ runtime.

>2. How can I get installshield to NOT include the MTDLL support file? This is not needed and adds megs to the setup image size. Don't they have an "exe-support-only" version of the VFP7 run-time library?

AFAIK, there's only one version of merge module(MM) for VFP runtimes. You can eaither include runtimes directly w/o MM or use Orca to create new MM w/o vfp7t.dll.
