>>>I built an exe that loads and runs fine on 4 computers, but on two other computers get a message similar to "Vfp500.dll invalid or corrupt" and the program goes no further. The .dll is in the same directory as the .exe file. The two machines which have this problem have 32Mg of memory. Coincidentally (or not), I also can't register the comdlg32.ocx on either of these two machines. Has anyone seen anything like this before and/or does it sound like a memory related problem (the other machines have 40Mg or more)?

Anyway, I was following instructions from the Build.exe help which says "...Build.exe requests two support files: VFP500.DLL AND VFP5ENU.DLL...These files must be placed in the same directory as the executable file or along the MS-DOS path."

I just reviewed this thread. You mention that you did not use SETUP disks. That points to your problem. Things are written to the registry at setup. Try setup disks. If you still have problems, let's look at it again.
