Greetings,

Is anyone attempting or successfully doing "shrink-wrap" application 
distributions with/of a Windows filePro application?

Have you been successful in generating a user-friendly installation 
procedure that would work on a par with something like MS-Office or 
some other standard Windows application?

- How did you handle the different OSes/env configurations, etc.?

- Did you provide a Start Menu Folder and Screen Icons for your 
application or just a simple batch file?

- Did you provide an uninstall option?

- How did you deal with Windows Printing setup/configuration/issues?

- How did you -or- have you provided a method for doing updates, 
either for the FP engine or your application?

- Did you use a "home grown", a shareware, or commercial product 
installer like InstallShield?

- What issues have you had to overcome, other than those listed above?

TIA, or any comments regarding the above.

Regards,
Keith
