Rick,

How would you make packake more favorable for example to the WEB hosting providers (among others). Using f.ex a VB script is supported by the OS but using a VFP script needs that we have to install something to their precious servers first?

So c'mon yourself, it would be a great asset in many cases to VFP if runtimes files are included in the OS or Windows update routine, or do you disagree?

If 100 meg installation is not an issue maybe .NET can be droped to that level too. If this happens it would be memorable to see .NET customers countenance when they first install small and simple .NET application (they know it's small and simple) but get it to work they have to install missing .NET. It might be hard time to explain that ... it's all in the packaging....

So maybe it isn't the installation issue at all but something else...

>C'mon in this day and age of 100 meg software installations installing a 4.5meg runtime is hardly an issue. Throw it into your own installer and say it's part of your application. This should NOT be a big issue any more...
