Hoping someone has good advice on this...

I developed a simple utility app in vfp9 that performs beautifully in dev environment. I packaged it using InstallShield Express (whatever came with vfp8) and installed it on same box. The application starts for a millisecond (all I see is a very brief flash of something, what exactly it is I don't know).

As I said the app works flawlessly in dev.

Thanks

Some additional ponderings...

1) Why does an app that compiles as a 34k executable become an 8MB setup.exe after InstallShield? I know there are runtimes and other supporting files but jeeze!

2) What can I do to prevent FOXUSER.FPT and FOXUSER.DBF from cluttering my desktop every time I use an app?
