Long live Innosetup.!
p.s. Does your isp give you a personal web site... you could post your setup there, send a link to your client, and not bother with emailing the entire file... just the link ? thats what I do these days. Emailing anything larger than a 5 meg file you are asking for trouble. Many isp's limit attachment sizes, and or total space to 5 megs of emails.

just some thoughts. .

>>I've written a small demo program to try to get some work and I wanted to distribute it over the internet using InstallShield. When I looked at the size of the exe it was huge, over 7 megs for almost nothing of a project! I've included only the two runtime libraries necessary and one small dll other than that its all foxpro.

In the beginning, there was a command prompt, and all was well.
