>I have spent 6 weeks writing an application for a client and it runs beautifully under VFP5.0. It was written on Windows NT 3.51 as the platform, and is to be installed on 20 stand-alone PC's running Win95. I have created a set of distribution disks and installed it on a laptop a week ago. Today, we went to create the final distribution, and when we tried to install it, we go 2 errors after the install, trying to run the exe.

>The 1st one was "The Ordinal 419 could not be located in the DLL OLEAUT32.DLL" and the 2nd one was "The file VFP500.DLL is invalid or damaged".

>During the creation of the distribution files, I also created a netsetup and we did an install to a network. That runs fine.

Bill,

Make sure you checked the option to include the VFP500.DLL during the setup wizard. You didn't mention if the network setup is one you're attached to or not. If so, it works because you have VFP500.DLL with VFP. Try running the application on another users PC that doesn't have VFP installed and it will most likely fail to start.
