What I mean is that, even if you normally don't need a setup for installing your main EXE, you can still create one that will help you installing the help support.
I usually do this, and let the Setup Wizard take care of the details of the installation.
Try it, and see if it works.

>>Make sure you have properly installed the help support. With VFP6, this can be done easily with the Setup Wizard. You might do this with a "dummy" installation, one that doesn't install a "real" program: for instance, you might install calc.exe, and include the option for help support.
