I used the registry class to check to make sure that DCOM95 was installed, from the information Ed Rauh provided in his FAQ. If it wasn't (we were running a lot of Win95B boxes at the time), that was installed. I also used to to check if the WSH was installed (via oReg.IsKey('vbscript.regexp')) if not, it installed that too. I also used my lnkfiles.dll to create the shortcuts. Finally, I used something similar to the download that John Koziol and I put together to create a VBScript file to start the program, and the dll to point to the proper icon.

It's a VFP exe.

That's the one John and I worked on.
