Hi Matthew,
a) if you are using any 3rd party DLLs or OCXs or FLLs in your project than copy them to your application directory (for checking only).
b) Also check that after This.DisplayWelcomeMessage() is executed the directory is being changed or not.

>>After This.DisplayWelcomeMessage() our application comes crashing to a halt with a "File Does Not Exist" error message, BUT ONLY in the runtime and only on initial startup. If I run the finished exe in the full version of VFP, it executes without any problems. Once the registry entries are created, the app starts with runtime libraries no problem.
