>>>Hi all,
>>>
>>>We have version8 runtimes registered on the Windows registry. If I place the version 9 runtimes next to a version8 executable, will the exe use the version 9 runtimes? If no, is there a way to force a version 8 exe to use the version 9 runtimes without unregistering it from the Windows registry?

>Thanks Naomi. I tried this and the exe was looking for the version8 runtimes.

What was the exe version? Are you sure it was VFP9?
