I am talking about the vc++ runtime libraries used by the compiler for creating the specific vfp-version.
They must be in the OS (not vfp!) path checked - and this is at least partly different in each langauge. The System32 inside the OS folder is a common place (albeit crowded), some places under {language specific"programs"}.. The quick fix is to copy those files as well into to the app's directory.

>Also does DLL require VFP run-times libraries?
a vfp COM DLL needs the vfp runtimes as well.
