win98 + p150 + 64megs ram + default windows config directorys works fine. I particularly liked the graphics : ) I haven't tested the setup program much yet, but I noticed it didn't let me create a directory to install abi in. I have a separate hard-drive, my d: drive and I install all my software there (eg. D:\abisuite). It's a minor thing though (the user can always create the directory before trying to install). possible sol. Maybe pass BIF_EDITBOX and BIF_VALIDATE to ::SHBrowseForFolder() and create the new dir using your browse callback function if validate fails?
