>OK, so I create a CD with vfp9.dll , vfp9enu.dll , msvcr71.dll and test.exe. Test.exe is a vfp 9 exe that simple shows a message box on the screen. If I attempt to run this from the CD on a machine with no runtimes and no config.fpw the program bombs out with the 'cannot create resources' error.

The minimum set of VFP runtimes: Vfp9r.dll, Vfp9renu.dll and msvcr71.dll. The config.fpw is required with

RESOURCE=OFF
