Pretty much. The only thing really to worry about is that VFP and the app can find the runtimes. Also, of course, the reg entries for the class associations aren't there so Windows won't automatically know what to do with VFP file types.

Somewhere in VFP is a cool little utility that Randy wrote that restores file associations and other reg entries if you really need them. Maybe in Samples somewhere.
