Jerry,
That should do it! We distribute web apps that are VFP mtdlls this way over the internet where it has to work for everybody ... MSMs are there just to make things easier for those that don't want to specify manually, as far as I know...

>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.

>>I think there's a list on the CD. You need to copy and register (regsvr32) the following files:
>>VFP7r.dll
>>MSVCR70.DLL
>>Just copy:
>>vfp7renu.dll
>>Your App files

>>The runtimes should go in the System32 dir or your apps directory.
