installshield for vfp; included files

Since this is a special "VFP9" version of InstallShield, wouldn't you think
it would include a project template for VFP9, rather than for VB and
everything else we don't need?

Also, how can I know what redistributables are required for my application?
There's a long list of them, including eight separate ones named "Microsoft
Visual FoxPro 9 Resource", plus three other VFP9 files. I know I need the
runtime libraries, but what about the others? I need some of the C libraries
too, I think, but I don't know which. Does anyone have this information? Is
it documented anywhere?

Again, since this is a special VFP9 version of InstallShield, the ones we
need ought to be made obvious somehow.

Hi Paul!

The minimum included resources needed are the following:
- GDI Redist module
- Microsoft C Runtime Library 7.1
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro Report Applications (If you use the new report
engine in your app.)
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9 Runtime Libraries

The other 'Resources' are for 'specific' languages (Spanish, Chinese, etc.)

I hope this helps

Yes, it does. Thank you.

But it would be very helpful if I could look up things like this myself.
Where did you find this information?

PS. And since you seem to know all these things, what is that HTML Help
Support Library for?

You need this library if you ship html help (CHM) with your vfp application.
