Jack,

While you may find the Innosetup scripts simple and easy to use, be

aware that there is a GUI front-end available for creating the Innosetup

scripts. It's not really similar to the Installshield setup screens, but

it works pretty well.

Good Afternoon All:

Thanks to all that responded to my 2 errors that are generated form Windows 7 64 bit and Installshield that shipped with VFP9.

I did not check it on a Windows 7 32 bit box as I don't have one to install Installshield on.

I am going to investigate Innosetup when I get a chance.

Installshield worked ok on my XP box and admittedly was awkward. I am not satisfied with 'seen' errors so the alternative will be investigated.

As usual, thanks for all the valuable input.

Best regards,

Jack

Now is the time to change to Innosetup. We use it for everything from win2000 to Win7 (32 and 64 bit), same exe. no

problems. (except when the local hardware guy installs in some M$ recommended location).

We recommend installing directly to a folder on the C: drive of the server and share that folder (never the C: drive)

and then workstations work fine.
