This is the first time I'm trying to release a db to other users.

I am not sure about how secure is my db, maybe this is the topic of another thread. Anyway...

I tried for the 1st time to use PSW and I have some observations/questions that you may help me with.

(1) As I saw PSW can't install files out of the default folder. The issue: I m using Calibri font for my db, that AFIK doesn't included in Windows XP, so I want to be able to install these 4 files into c:\windows\fonts

(2) I split my db and I have the back end (tables etc.) as a file to be added to my db folder. (Is this the right way?)

(3) When I (the user) try to uninstall the db, THERE IS NO WARNING like "are you sure you want to...".
After you double click the uninstall icon, without a warning your folder is erased WITH ALL YOUR DATA (back end)

WTF? (if you pardon my language)
Let's say the user wants to uninstall the next in line software and by accident double clicks the icon of the db, in a split second looses all his data with let's say thousands client or whatever??

I am already looking for alternatives like Inno but if you have any thoughts on my 3 questions please share them.

Is this the right way if you have split your database (FE+BE)?
