Not really, since the installer is transactional. Your best bet is going to be to create a wrapper around the IS LE install, and if the InstallShield installation succeeds, call your post-setup executab;e from the wrapper - could be as simple as a .BAT file that triggers the post-setup executable if the install succeeds. I'd recommend writing the post-setup executable in something other than VFP, since the runtime may not function fully until after a reboot.
