Christian,
not 100% clear what you are trying to tell here,
do you mean that you had a x=verstion(2) in your exe and upon that it installed the (complete) VFP,IDE on that pc?
That is certainly not usual, the piece of code I gave here is part of all my .exe and I never ever had that result as you describe, so I must conclude I do misinterpreted your remark, would you be able to clearify>
Stay healty,
Koen


>I once tested version(2) and could run an EXE file from VFP IDE (DO test.exe) and it would return Version(2) = 2 (development mode). So a client could run the exe in devmode with that approach if he installs VFP IDE.

>>Hi,
>>Apart from Tore's usefull correct information there is also version() , if version(2) is returning 2 you are in development if version(2) returns 0 you are in Run time.
>>usufull if you want to have 2 different settings of your path depending on the version.

>>If Version(2) # 0
>>	***  We are in Development Mode
>>	***  Set up Project search path
>>	m.lcPath = Home() + ';' + Fullpath( Curdir() ) + [Class;  Data; Forms; Images ; Menu; Progs ; Reports; ReportingFiles]

>>Else
>>	*** We are in Production Mode
>>	*** Set up application search paths
>>	m.lcPath = Fullpath( Curdir() ) + [ ;Reports ; ReportingFiles]
>>Endif
