Jose,
Usually, installing the runtime files on each machine is the way to go. If you *really* want to have them on the network, each machine may need to at least have VFP500.DLL registered in the registry (so the EXE will find it.

>The idea is to install it in a directory of the server with the VFP runtime in the application directory (So, I don't have to install it in each machine). Before I made the distribution's disks with the setup wizard, I copied the next files to the application directory: VFP500.DLL, VFP5ENU.DLL, VFP5ESN.DLL. And I tell the wizard don't add the VFP runtime.
>After installation, when I try to run it, works fine in some customers. But in others, appears the message that the VFP runtime is not found.
>I don't understand what happend.
>How can I fix it? Have I to copy the files in the \windows\system of all machines of the network?
>Thanks in advance.
