Hi Walter,

Thanks for the reply. It is the part about 2 or 3 days that got to me.
Like I said ... If you do complicated ... InstallShield may be great.

I don't distribute complicated systems. If I use a couple of Xthings that would be about it. I want to indicate my EXE file and go ... that's it.

I am using INNO SETUP now and it fits my needs perfectly.

Don

In fact, it probably is going to freeze me in VFP6 for as long as it is possible to hold on to it.
