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.

Hi Greg,

How does Inno setup compare with InstallShield that comes with VFP?

Subject: RE: InstaFox

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. =20

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,

=20

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,
