Pat,
it should be mywebapp.ism. Substitute yourapp.dll or 'yourapp' every place in that project where it makes reference to avfpdemo2 or avfpdemo2.dll(which is just another application). PostSetup would be included from the original directory and it should already be in the project.
I'm assuming you're at Version 2.11 of AVFP.
In installshield, you need to make sure it can find all of the files listed not including any avfpdemo2 files. Put in yourapp.dll, yourapp.vbr, yourapp.tlb.
Also, if you're not installing to a PC with the VFP MT runtime, you need to include that also and associated files. I believe the necessary files are listed at the FoxWiki for each version. You will NOT need the standard runtime(vfp_r), just vfp_t.dll(the MT runtime). This will save about 400K off the regular install of VFP.
For PostSetup in the limited edition of IS do this:
1.) go to Dialogs
2.) Go to 'Setup Complete Success'
3.) Say Yes to 'Show launch program'
4.) Put in postsetup.exe in 'Program File' (the file needs to have been included in the setup already). This is a small C++ exe that calls methods in the .vfp. PostSetup.dll
5.) Put in yourapp(whatever the name of your app is) for the parameter in the 'Command Line Parameters'.
6.) They will need to be instructed to check off the 'Launch Program' to actually run it.
7.) Test on the same type of server that the end-user will have.
IS Express full version lets you run this automatically using a Custom Action so there's no user interaction.
