FWIW, you can put the foxuser files on the CD, but they will be read only. Otherwise, you can RESOURCE=OFF in a config.fpw file on the CD as well. If you have identified this EXE to be run a post-setup executable in the VFP setup wizard, the post-setup executable is installed in the app installation folder as well. This is where the executable will also be run from.

I have successfully run a VFP EXE from a CD that had the foxuser files on the CD as well. There was no UI involved or anything else that would have necessitated the modifying of the foxuser table, so I was safe in doing this. However, if you not need these files, the RESOURCE=OFF option should work.
