Hey Chris
ok first off yes it is better for speed to have the exe localy, but for updating exe's it's better to have it on the server

Me I put the exe localy on the users pc, speed is better then tech easy

and I don't understand your second question
"does the client installer write something to the registry that you read from Foxpro when a user starts the app or what?"

do you mean path to the datasource????
if so I store that data in a dbf on the local pc
