I'm using the Installshield Express 5.0 vfp limited edition.
It actually built the project.msi file - it claims successfully. If I click
on the test the installation I get an error "Error reading setup
initalization file" and returns to the test screen. What am I missing?????
Any help is welcome.

I don't know about your problem, but InstallShield has a support forum on
their web site.

Hi Carol:

Did you try making a new project (.ISE) file and testing the installation
again? (You might have a corrupt .ISE file.) If you are making a complex
installation package (one with a lot of options), have you considered
making a simple install project and testing that one?

I hope this helps.

I changed the schema number to 110 and the msi engine to 1.2 and it works
fine EXCEPT. I created a default directory XXX1 which I want to go to C:\XXX1
but when I test it - it insists on going to my D drive. The user can change
it but I want it defaulting to the C drive. What am I doing wrong.?????
