>I want to make my VFP5 EXEs available on a LAN. Is there a way to copy certain support files to each PC in lieu of going through a setup process for each application on each PC? In other words, which files are necessary to run a VFP5 EXE, taking into account any special library files it may be using? With good ol' Visual Basic 3.0, all one need to do was copy VBRUN300.DLL to the Windows system directory (in the simplest scenario). I doubt it's that easy with FoxPro but, still, is there a way?

Michael, you could do similar thing in VFP 3.0, copying VFP300.ESL to \WINDOWS\SYSTEM, but not for VFP 5.0. What you need to do - use a Setup Wizard - it has an option for network setup. You put your setup files on the server and just run it from each workstation.
