This release includes copies of additional software that you can install and use with Visual FoxPro. These include:
-
InstallShield Express Limited Edition
Provides the capability to package and deploy the applications that you create using Visual FoxPro. Visual FoxPro includes the InstallShield Express 5.0 Visual FoxPro Limited Edition.
Note: The limited and full editions of InstallShield Express 5.0 are considered two versions of the same product and cannot coexist. If you install one version on a computer where another already exists, the original is uninstalled automatically. Because the limited edition contains fewer features than the full edition, you should keep the full edition on your computer. -
