Friedrich,

Your second answer helped a lot more than your first one. Glad to know I'll be able to continue on with SetupBuilder.

FYI, the app was compiled with Clarion 5.5. I own 6.3, the 7 beta, and the .NET Enterprise beta. Haven't switched to 6.3 because of the change in thread management. When I do port, I'm planning to go straight to .NET.

Since it's the manifest that's causing the problem, it didn't "manifest" itself (sorry!) in InstallShield. Not to put too fine a point on it, but manifests still can't be embedded into apps with InstallShield. Yet they're absolutely mandatory for VISTA to avoid virtualization. One of the main reasons why I started looking at SB.

Thanks for the great support.
