Hi Rick.

Unfortunately there are a few fixes in SP2 regarding COM interop that I actually need and only have a nasty working around pre-sp2 so I'm still debating <g>...

We haven't run into this yet, but are seriously looking at COM-free installation for our next release, so everything -- runtimes, OCXs, DLLs, etc. -- will go into a single folder. The only issue we've run into is FOXHHELP.EXE, which doesn't seem to work if it isn't registered, but once we figure that out, I'll blog and/or post on the FoxWiki about how to do this.
