>Is there a way, or a program, that I can install on the net or on a CD that can be run at the other workstations that will only install the VFPx.DLL files, etc. and a desktop or program group shortcut icon?

What I usually do is take a single empty PRG file and then create an install routine with the setup wizard. Be sure to check 'include VFP runtime' (or some such wording). I have seen other say that you don't even need to have a dummy PRG with with SP3. You can then distrubute the setup files to your users on a netork drive, via a floppy, etc..
