Install

Postby RayPwb » Tue Feb 04, 2014 12:57 pm

We develop in VFP 6.0 and ProMatrix sing SQL on the backend. We need to create stop gap install for a 64 Bit environmnet. I have seen mixed results on Install Shield Express 2013 and Inno install.

I would like to get some thoughts on this topic. I just want to make this instalall with as little effort as possible. Any examples would be appreciated.

Thanks

Are you trying to install sql as well or just your VFP exe and tables?

What's a stop gap install?

I use setup factory and I have a runtime library install.

I normally put the data runtime installer, data folder and exe on the server.

Then from the workstations, I just get to the folder on the server, run the runTime installer, and then copy/paste a short cut to the workstation desktop.

Is that what you're trying to do? Or do you install more stuff on the workstation?
