Does "ctl3d32.dll" need to be distributed to run a VFP6 application? If not, I'll remove it from the setup. Wise7 automatically includes this file as part of the VFP6 runtime setup.

If it is needed, I can test for which version of Windows a user has and install the correct file durring setup.

Is there a list of runtime files that need to be distributed with a VFP6 application?

Thanks for your help
