>I ran the VPF Setup utility to install an app on a clients server. However, it put the runtime files into his local Windowes dir, so other workstations don't have access to them. It seems pointless to have all workstations run the install. Is there a simpler way to do this - to insure that all workstations have access to the runtime files, which could be on the server somewhere?

If you knew every registry entry to make, you could point the workstations at the DLL's on a file server. However, the client workstations will have better performance if the runtimes are installed locally. And with VFP 6, don't forget to install DCOM95 by itself, unless already there via an IE 4 install.

I found this out the hard way yesterday. With VFP 5, you could set up an install through the network log-in script. I, too, wish they could have kept it simple with VFP 6. The price of progress, eh?
