Hey George,

Yeah, Ed was fanatical about good installs. If I recall correctly, he preferred the Wise installer. But we did all agree that a clean install was a good thing and critical for customers.

I'm glad you agree that the VFP 8 ISE we ship - FREE - is a good thing. It offers capabilities more than sufficient for the casual developer. If your needs extend beyond that, then it behooves you to buy a better tool. Right?

I know, from personal conversation with him, that he believed it, and from knowing a bit about history of the four of us, I'd say you and Craig feel the same way.

>Like Alex, I'm a corporate developer. The one thing that I truly love about ISX is that it allows me to develop an installation program that my users can't screw up or screw up my ability to support the application. That, in and of itself, is a big plus.
