The following information is also provided in the Readme.txt file contained in Setupwiz.exe:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro Setup Wizard Update 05/96

These updated Setup Wizard files fix problems associated with distributing applications that contain long path and file names. To use these new Setup Wizard files, place them in the following locations:


   File               Directory Location
   ==========================================

   Wzsetup.app        \VFP\Wizards\ 
   Compress.dbf       \VFP\Distrib.src\

Before running the updated Setup Wizard, go to the directory where your source files are and delete the Dkcontrl.dbf, Dkcontrl.cdx, and the Wzsetup.ini files.

NOTE: Windows NT and Windows 95 support long file names. So, if the application directory has any long file or path names, a dialog box is displayed notifying you that no Win32s files will be included (even if the Win32s Required System Files check box is selected in Step 2). This also means that you will be unable to do an installation with these setup disks on the Win32s platform. In addition, if you have specified a long path name for the Default Destination Directory in Step 5, you will not be able to install the setup disks on a Win32s computer.

Microsoft appreciates your continued support of Visual FoxPro and is always committed to making Visual FoxPro better.
