>>Not an issue... I have done this with 2.6, 3.x, 5.x, 6.x and, except for different runtime files, it works fine. The point is, the support files do NOT have to be in the windows\system directory and can be in the same directory with the .EXE

No... as I said above... They are different...

For 2.6...

foxw2600.esl
foxtools.fll (if you use it)
any other .fll's you use

For 5.x...

vfp500.dll
vfpaaa.dll*
Any thirdparty .dlls or Active X controls... must be registered by setup unless you are using Doug Hennigs ActiveX loader which does this for you.
