>Windows 2000 onwards Logo guidelines require that setup programs be based on Windows Installer technology (InstallMsster 8.14 is not anyway ). InstallShield Express which is included with VFP starting from version 7 places Foxpro related DLLs into Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP... From other hand when Windows Installer technology is used my understanding is that Windows 2000 seems to keep a track to which application this DLL belongs to anyway.
