You have two problems; the first, and biggest one, is that filer.dll is not redistributable. You are in direct violation of your license agreement by placing on a client system. You'll need to find some other solution to provide the functionality of filer on a client system, or have them purchase a copy of the VFP development environment to make filer legally available on their system.

The second problem involves correct installation of filer.dll; we'll not go there because of the first issue.
