Need help creating a stand-alone exe

[redwolfe]

I haven't used Visual Foxpro since version 5.0. I recently purchased version 9.0 and I've just tried to write my first application with it. Version 5 had a setup wizard located under the Tools menu option, but I don't see one in version 9. How do I create a stand-alone exe with this version?

Redwolfe,

The method of creating a stand-alone EXE is identical in all versions:

- Open the project.

- Click the Build button.

- Make your choices.

I suspect what you really meant to ask was how to distribute the EXE. In VFP 7.0 and later, you don't use the setup wizard. There is a separate program called InstallShield Express. You install this from the VFP CD. You'll also find some notes on the CD to tell you how to use it, or you can read the Help.
