I try as hard as I can, but all I remember is something with the Installer must gone wrong. A lot of people had this problem as the ISD express delivered with VFP comes up, and with the development computer itself. But it was a one-time fix and I don't get it out of my brain. Try to search this place.

What do you use to deploy the code to your customer?
