>Hi. VFP6 user here. I have a compiled app that I am installing on my workstations with VFP Runtime installed. I have my exe stored in a directory on my server and foxtools.fll is in the same directory.
>In the startup program of my project, I have SET LIBRARY TO foxtools.fll.
>My desktop icon has a start path of the directory where my exe resides.
> To give an example, I ran the EXE from a Win98 workstation and it was looking for foxtools.fll in the c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vfp6 directory. I went into Explorer, created those directories, placed foxtools there, and all ran fine. I would not call that a "user friendly installation".

Either set the path in the config.fpw file with DEFAULT= or use SYS(16, 1) to get the path and SET DEFAULT TO prior to attempting to load the library. It may be that the shortcut's Start In directory isn't properly set.
