Hi Ken..  Yes it is dbase 11.    And the script has not been manipulated at all.

I am pretty sure it found the runtime installer as it went through all the phases.  And the bde installer folder is in runtime.   Possibly it ran to the point just before installing and failed there.  But I am confused by the 'rejected by user' comment.

I have other iss scripts I can compare it to and will fool with it, but this result seems strange and confusing!
