I already said that - the workstations get the VFP runtime, any ActiveX components, and a post setup executable that will set up the shortcut to the network. The network install gets everything else. Niether directly creates a short. Shortcuts to start the app either get created by hand, or you need to write a post-setup executable that sniffs out where the application is on the network and creates the needed shortcut(s). You cna create shortcuts from within VFP using the Wscript.Shell automation object (part of the Windows Scripting Host; ypou have to install it as a part of your wrkstation install if it isn't there already) or george Tasker's LNKFILES.DLL, which cna be downloaded from here on UT, and would also have to be installed on the workstation in order to use it.
