Dragan,
Did you try putting in the Microsoft Office CD? That's what work for David and then for me.

Also - I can't get ISLE to run under win 2k pro - it just displays the splash then disappears off the Task manager's radar screen. I've reinstalled it and Fox several times - to no avail. (works under the win98 boot though...)

I still have my sinclair... Collecting dust in the basement.



>I've had a similar thing with the ISLE (limited edition of InstallShield) - first the help wouldn't work because it never included the foxhhelp7.exe and the corresponding dll. Then I added that to where the KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q314296) said, into a subdirectory of [common files]. Fine, except that ISLE never understood that on developer's machine these two files have already existed and were in use by VFP, so it erased them on uninstall.

>Then I set the [installdir] as a target for these two files, and all is fine, except that ISLE still unregisters the dll when I uninstall the app. In general, IMO, ISLE is in the least flaky. It's probably the best first installer for anyone, just like Sinclair ZX-80 was the best first computer (you try it, and then either decide that computers suck and throw it out, or decide that computers are great, throw it out and buy a real one).
