Hi Denis,

>Could anyone explain to me what is the use of "Create Packages"?

Nice feature,

my package includes all VFP files (+ a recent GDI dll) into one single myapp.dll that replaces VFP as the runtime environment.

On the plus side:
- all VFP related dlls compressed into one single dll
(the one you put in the your installer),
- easier deployment (shorter),
- VFP is hidden, partly at least (good marketingwise).

On the minus one:
- more RAM used (who cares really) especially if your application is open in multiples sessions (VFPs dlls are no more used in smart way, re-entrant)
- you need to care with the package issue.

On the last point I'm sorry that i can not help here to-day. Since I have access to my dev stuff.

However It's pretty simple and straight forward. Read the doc carefully... The interface (dialog box) contains so few options:)

A bientôôôôt!

François
