>>There are a couple of other files that Fox needs to run an instance on a workstation. The easiest way to take care of this is to create another project with nothing but a a 'hello world' dummy program. Run this project through the setup wizard and then install on all your workstations. You could instruct the setup wizard to run a program after the install to erase your dummy .exe. Hope this helps.

Your suggestion sounds great, I wonder if you could help me with the program that will erase the dummy.exe. I'm not sure if I would write a program in VFP to do this, I'm thinking my customers wouldn't be able to run a prg written in VFP if they don't have VFP.

I have used a similar method to build a setup that installs the runtime files. However I don't use a dummy exe. I use a zero byte text file. I don't worry about deleting it afterwords since it only takes up the disk space for a directory entry.
