>>>>I have create an executable file for my user, but when I try to run the executable file on the user computer it gives me a message saying Visual FoxPro Support Library not found. Is it necessary to install a copy of VFP into user computer in order to run the executable file? If I install the Standard Version of VFP is it still going to work?? Or it has to be Professional Version??

>>>The Pro. Version allows you to create a workstation installation using the setup Wizard. DO NOT install a full version of VFP on each station, unless you plan on purchasing multiple licenses. You can distribute applications and support files with VFP royalty free, but not the actual VFP code.

>Create a seperate distribution tree and put the exe and the ini(if you use one) in the root directory. You'll probably be well suited to include a data directory and bmps directory in your tree. Put all the necessary graphics in the bmps directory. If you've excluded any other files, you'll need to amend the distribution tree to include those files as well.

...and when you run the setup, it will extract VFP300.EXE and a .DLL or two from compressed files and put it in the system directory. Until then, you won't see it.

By the way, I've never used third party tools for installing fox apps. Whaddoyoudo, guys...run a fox setup in order to extract VFP300.EXE and some .DLLs, then use the other product to copy them somewhere?
