I don't know what could be the problem because I can run any Foxpro .EXE or .APP from Explorer w/o first installing the individual apps. Somehow (I don't know how yet) the Exploer knows that my Foxpro .EXE file is a Foxpro program (I could see the cute little fox icon on the left :) ) and first start the Foxpro program before running the app. It doesn't use the runtime .EXE but the actual Foxpro development environment.
