Thanks for the wonderful effort your Team has put into the Product.
By way of explanation of the Flack that ISX has received - just notice the number of reguests as to where did our Setup Wizard go. Many in the VFP community did not understand the huge leap forward that arrived with the Microsoft Installer Technology leap. We expected ISX was just a different way of doing a setup CD. I for one stumbled through my first use of ISX without knowing anything about a Merge Module - so another White Paper is probably in order.
Thanks
>There are also several new enhancements to the InstallShield Express that is included with VFP 8.0 based on customer feedback. Those new features include:
>
>1. Upgrade View - create new product versions that will automatically uninstall the previous version (must be MSI-based) and install the new one
>
>2. Windows XP support - conditionally install the project or individual files based on the presence of this OS
>
>3. Merge Modules path modification - Ability to add additional directories to the search path used to populate the Merge Module view
>
>4. Windows Installer 2.0 support - WI 2.0 is used by default, with an option to revert to WI 1.2 engines (typically to avoid the SP6 requirement for NT 4 systems)
>
>5. Detects previous installations - Installation detects existing versions of InstallShield Express and displays a warning message about overwrite during installation
>
>6. Post-setup EXE - A dialog can be included at the end of an installation that contains a checkbox for launching an EXE
