Of course you missed something. Possibly something simple.. For sure the documentation is spotty at best. It is currently even shorter than usual. They are reviewing the site and dropped important information about their initial offer (too cheap by the way).
Beware that all files included in the project should be in the same directory. So prepare a brand new one and copy all your stuff in it. Have you made sure that the exe and ALL VFP dlls are included in the project (myexe.exe, vfp9r.dll,vfp9enu.dll, possibly a localized resource file if you need localized regional stuff and a gdiplus.dll as well if you deploy on oldish hardware) ?
I do not understand how it could ignore your config.fpw settings since they are already embedded in your myexe.exe.
The pro version worked nicely for me. But it missed a few of the ocx-exes that I wanted to embed - in order to avoid the registration issue. The ultra stuff, significantly more costly, has bettter ocx and com support and offered other nices features. Possibly much more like thinstall. But this is a brand new product.
PS: thinstall was not my cup of tea in terms of licensing. I tend to believe than molebox ultra should deliver most of what thinstall does.
