Hi Dennis

its not a stupid question .

The Installshield with VFP7 and 8 is a limited edition but the restriction is on what it does not on how many times you use it. I've only just started using it myself and am not sure what the limitations are. It did what I wanted thats the main thing for me :-)

Check tnat you have installed this when installing VFP8.0 I've just used this myself for the first time and though more complicated than the setup wizard does allow more options. If your setup requirements are simple then I think you'll find using Installshield simple as well.
