>>We need a standalone loader (or preferably wrapper) application that can determine what runtime files are needed (either via a manifest if present or by examining the exe), check to see if they are registered and if not download them from the appropriate site (perhaps a site belonging to the app developer himself, for licensing reasons) register the dlls, extract the app and start it.

>>Is there anyone here proficient enough in C or C++ to write such an app and make it available to all VFP developers? You would get my vote for personality of the year.
