Hi Greg,
How does Inno setup compare with InstallShield that comes with VFP?

InstaFox is written by Fowler Software Design in Colorado - a firm I
used to work for. All I all, a good company, they taught me a lot, but
they didn't have enough work to keep me busy, so I moved on. I noticed
it being advertised in FoxPro Advisor for a few months, then they quit.
I can only guess there wasn't much of a market for it.
But as far as an Installer written in Fox, I would have to stop and ask
"Why?" It's not what Fox does best.
Like Rich recommended, I use Inno setup, and I have come to love it as
much as I love the Fox - it's powerful, easy to use, and Free! Whee,
what more could you ask for?
God, it's late and I am really tired, but I have been pushing to get a
release good enough to, well, release tomarrow at noon. But at a
certain point, the brain cells stop braining and I think I have reached
that point.

Hi All,
I was just wondering if anyone has heard of or used InstaFox to create
VFP installations? All I know it is written in VFP and comes with the
source code. If you have, I'd like your opinion on it.
Thanks,

Well, I pulled out the InstallSheild VFP, but never could quite get the
hang of it. I even attended a session at the last Whilfest on it.
Inno setup, on the other hand, was very easy to understand and use, and
there is nothing that I have come across so far that it cannot do. It
compresses your files, installs them, regesters OCX's, creates shortcuts
and menu items, creates an uninstall program, and presents a
professional image to your users. You can put your own custom messages
etc in it, such as license, post set up ect.
Hopefully, I am going to present a session on it at the Whilfest this
year, and on Thursday, I am going to do a session on it to my usergroup.

Greg,
Will you be distributing any hand-outs on your InnoSetup presentation to =
your Thursday user group?
If so, would you be willing to post your handouts/notes to this forum?
Thanks!

How do you get it to include the vfp7 runtimes and c libs needed for a vfp7
setup?

And have someone transcribe the session and post it here, with abundant
illustrations, right? :-)
I would be happy to.
Give me a couple days to put a powerpoint presentation together that I
am going to use at my User Group meeting Thursday, and then I will post
it along with a sample script and a walkthrough of what it is and does.
I am happy to see the interest in the product - I am the self-appointed
evanglist for Inno SetUp in the Fox World!
