Hi all,

A short question with a plain objective, getting a fair view on the different solutions - commercial or not - that allow for hassle-free deployment of standard VFP applications. Aka installer-free deployment and USB-key applications.

Under this "hassle-free" deployment there's a lot to cover:
1- manually code manifest files to avoid hard-coded registry settings.
2- smarts installers that will take over "part or all" the dll hell,
3- virtualisation tools such as Xenocode, thinstall or molebox,

I have not been successful with manifest files. But quite happy with the recent version of molebox called ultra. Any feedback on this subjects by users of virtualization tools or manifest file gurus is welcome?
