Hi Dave.
>I recently upgraded to VFP 8.0 and am now faced with trying to build and installation program for an application that I am about to market. I have several scenarios that I want to build for:
>1. Single-User - Stand Alone PC
>2. Multi-User - Network Installation
> - Workstation Installation
It looks like you have two types of installations: all files (your app files + VFP and other runtime files) or runtime files only.
In the Features node of InstallShield, create a feature called (for example) Complete Installation. This will be used for your app files. The built-in feature, Always Install, will be used for runtime files only.
In the Setup Types node, create the three setup types you want and link each to the appropriate feature. For example, Single-User would be linked to both Complete Installation and Always Install, while Workstation Installation would be linked only to Always Install.
In the Files node, select a feature from the combobox and add files for that feature. Your app files would only be added when the Complete Installation feature is selected.
In the Redistributables node, select the merge modules you need and ensure that the Always Install feature is checked.
Now, when the user chooses Workstation Installation, they should select the network location where the full installation was done so the shortcuts created for them point to the correct location of your EXE, but nothing will actually be written there because none of your app files are selected for the Workstation Installation feature. However, the runtime files will be installed on their system.
Hope this helps.
Doug
