installshield 2

[LenaS]

Developing app for use in-house only. VFP files and project.exe all reside on networked drive "K". I assume all I really need the installshield to do is provide a shortcut to the project.exe on "K" and install and register the neccessary .dll's. Too much info for me in the wizard; where does this stuff go? and where do I find the appropriate dll's to include?

LenaS,

There is also a document on getting started with InstallShield Express. You can find it on the VFP 7.0 CD.

Plus, if you have back copies of FoxTalk, Whil Hentzen wrote a good series of articles on the subject -- I think at the beginning of last year, if memory serves.

Essentially, to get the VFP runtime installed, all you have to do is include the VFP7RUNTIME.MSM merge module in your installation design.

You can download this file here:

http://www.installshield.com/downloads/modules.asp?prod=cx&lan=english&xmlUse=y

(It should be on your VFP7 cd, too)

Place it in your "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules" directory, and it'll show up in the "Redistributables" section of InstallShield.
