This is the tool that Microsoft supports for the deployment of VFP
applications. In my experience it has nearly all the capabilities that
developers need. However, the "Limitied Edition" of Installshield does not
have all the features of the full version. Therefore, some developers
upgrade to the full version and purchase it from InstallShield.

I have heard of developers using Wise to make deployment packages, but we
don't support this tool.

I hope this helps.
