The included VFP installer should be able to perform all three actions for you, though I've never used it to create a Desktop icon.

What you want to do ismdownload the visual studio installer from Mircosoft. It is full blown installation utility similar to install Shield. If you purchased VFP or Visual Studio recently, you may still have free access to MSDN.

The download may be free in any event. I just don't know.

Post back if it's free

Good Luck!
