>>>I really never understood what the bitching was about. I never really had a problem with ISX VFP edition. In fact, I liked it so much I upgraded to the full blown ISX. I would also bet IS benefitted quite well from this partnership with VFP as have countless VFP developers.

>Yeah, but if this is your livelyhood, like it is for our family business, you have to be willing to use professional grade tools. However, I do understand that point, but I can not bring myself to bitch about a free add-on that got me off my arse to learn about a professional installation tool instead of using that archaic setup wizard in prior versions. Besides there are freeware install tools available as well, but IS does make a good impression on customers, and, in this business, positive perception is gold.

Mark,

I wouldn't argue your points for a second. You're absolutely correct. I was just trying to point out what the "problem" that some saw with ISE. For some reason the phrase, "...looking a gift horse in the mouth.", comes to mind.:-)
