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.

The VFP9 DLLS are simply reside in the application folder, on the server. So, when the application starts (using a desktop shortcut pointing to the EXE in the application folder, on the server), the application uses these DLLS. The installer is built using InnoSetup and it installs a couple of ActiveX components from DBI Tech.
I am trying to schedule a GoToMeeting with the customer to see for myself what is going on. Maybe I will see what they don't see.
