I followed your instructions below, created a setup.exe that installed only the following files and registered the files that needed it. I then tested this setup.exe on 3 PCs that did NOT have the VFP7 runtimes on them.

All 3 PCs were NT4 and all three PCs were able to run a VFP7 application after the setup was run. This worked great! Could it realy be this simple to distribute the VFP7 runtimes?

I tested this on 3 NT PCs, but will this work on Win95, 98, ME, and 2k PCs?

What do the msvcp70.msm and msvci70.msm files contain? Why does the VFP docs say that these 2 files also need to be included in a VFP7 installation? I only included the below files and a VFP7 application was able to run on the 3 NT PCs I tested this on.

Thanks,

Jerryt
