If you're asking will an application compiled to an .EXE under VFP6 can run under NT 4.0, the answer is yes, as long as the necessary runtime files are installed properly on the NT system. Simply copying files into p[lace is not an adequate install of a VFP application. Your best bet is to create a setup Wizard based distribution disk set that includes the VFP runtime and install that to ensure that the needed files ar einstalled properly.

If you've used any ActiveX components in your executable, you need to ensure that they are installed properly as well.

Setup Wizard installs will require that the application be installed by a user with administrative privileges in case the registry is protected; there's a hack to the setup in the FAQ that shows you how to bypass this, with the caveat that if you do, and the user doesn't have adequate privileges, the instlal will fail.
