Doubtful. You can try it yourself, CDs are cheap. All you need is a machine that has not had VFP installed on it. On the CD, you will need to put RESOURCE=OFF in a CONFIG.FPW file. Your app will have to be quite simple, no ActiveX controls because those have to be registered. Some of the runtime DLLs may have to be registered as well. It all depends on the complexity of the app and what is required.

At a minimum you will probably have to provide some SETUP.EXE that only installs the runtime files and any ActiveX controls. You will also be sunk if you try to run under earlier versions of Win9x where the installation of DCOM95 or DCOM98 is required but has not been done yet. Installation of MDAC is also a factor.
