Unless Installshield creates large install programs s[ace should not be a problem. I copied files onto a zip cartridge and it used about 19M of disk space.

Too bad we can nolonger just copy runtime libraries into the application folder.


>>Looking at Installsheild Express for Visual Foxpro I noticed that the only options seems to be to build to a CD. Some of my users have zip drives which the would prefer both as the source of the install program and to execute programs from a zip cartrigde so they can use it from several PC (which may be using different versions of Windows).

>>Is this possible, espicailly the execution part? If so what do I need to do?
