NOThis is the orignal realease of the application for VFP 8.

I am asking for the future relases which normally are fixes and ussually involve one or two files. Thus only the executable file exe changes. In any case I DO NOT want to replace the data (tables) for minor or major upgrades until VFP 9.

Can I do that using the version of Installshield Express 3.5 that comes with VFP 8?

The documentation implies that it will automatically replace all existing files. Is this correct?

If I use it what should I enter for it? The existing "msi" file?

Upgrading to full Installshield Developer is too expensive!!!

What are the alternatives, if any?
