Well, i ordered CleanSweep. In the meantime, i think i've found the version mismatch. In the properties for Vfp500.dll, i see 'File Version: 5.0'. In the properties for Vfp5enu.dll, i see 'File Version: 5.0.0.344'.
I think the last installation ( VFP5 US version ) didn't overwrite the one these files. Could you check in yours to see if you have this mismatch? I ordered the VFP5 Hebrew version, but i won't receive it till next week.
The funny thing about this whole matter is that the exe file runs clean if executed from inside VFP...
