>>>Hi,
>>>I have just installed an executable project on a clients machine but am experiencing difficulties while running the app. The application(exe) is installed on a server along with Visual Foxpro and a shortcut on a workstation to the app. When the application is started from the workstation the user get a message "Cannot Find Visual Foxpro Resource File" or something very similar to this message. I haven't seen the message because the site is a long distance from me. It runs on my local machine just fine. Any ideas?
>>>BTW, the network in simply WIN95, (no NT, no Novell).
>>>Thanks in advance.

>>Did you run installation package on client's machine?

>No. I sent the entire program directory electronically. They already owned a copy of Visual Foxpro on the server machine so I had them rebuild the exe from the project. This was all done on the server machine (where the app runs fine from). I only put a shortcut to the .exe on the workstation (where the app doesn't run from). Does this help?

That's not enough. You better create installation package (Setup Wizard) to be run on client machines. Any machine running VFP application should at least have VFP500.dll and VFP5ENU.dll files in windows system folder. Running installation package you guarantee that these files (may include other files) will be installed and registered properly.
