I need to distribute a CD every 4 months with updated information. I also need to build an interface that the client will be able to use to access the CD data. So, I will do a Visual FoxPro EXE for that purpose. As for the client side, I only want them to click on a file to load the application. I don't want them to have to install something on the local drive.
If all the required DLL are on the CD in the default directory, will this be ok. Of course, we suppose that the user will have Windows '95 or NT.
