SUMMARY
=======
Although a CD-ROM is not a media option in the Setup Wizard, you can create a
CD-ROM setup disk to install your Visual FoxPro application.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The Visual FoxPro Setup Wizard does not support creating CDs. However, you can
create a Netsetup file and place this on a CD. Note that creating a CD using the
Visual FoxPro Setup Wizard is not supported by Microsoft.
To create a CD to install your application, follow these steps:
1. Create a new folder and name it Mysource. Create your executable file and
place it along with any other files, such as data files, in the Mysource
folder.
2. Create a destination folder and name it CDROM (this is used in step 3 of the
Setup Wizard).
3. Start the Setup Wizard. In step 1 of the wizard, point to the distribution
files.
4. In step 2, choose your options as needed.
5. In step 3, for Disks images folder, select CDROM, and for Disk images, select
Netsetup (uncompressed).
6. Continue through the remaining steps. In step 7, click Finish.
7. Use your CD-ROM creation software to write the contents of the Netsetup
folder to the CD that you are making.
After you have performed these steps, the users can insert the CD on their
computers, browse to the Setup.exe file, and double-click the file to begin the
setup process.
