Where can I find a good description of the process to build an app into an EXE?

I have seen bits and pieces, but nothing that describes the requirements of the entire process in the logical order.

I have a small visitor registration app that needs to go on a laptop for a trade show, and I don't want to put VFP on the machine. So, I plan to build a standalone .EXE. A few questions that come to mind are:

While building the original project, VFP creates a program file called (program)_app and sets it as main. However, this file does not contain a READ EVENTS command. What does this file do? (It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.) Must it be run first? Should it be called by a separate MAIN program? Or should it contain a line calling the main program?

How does a VFP build deal with app directories and paths? If I create the app in a development directory and plan to install it in a different directory, do I need to make provisions for the different locations?

Does the .EXE contain all the files needed from my app, or do I need to add the forms, tables and/or the entire development directory structure?

One reference I found says to include the .VCX files. This app is so simple that I'm not creating any classes.... which .VCX files and/or .DLL files do I need to include?

Any other gotchas to the process?

Thanks,
