For 3 days now I have been trying to get my my new application installed on a users machine ready for testing.

Everything works fine on my PC but on the users PC it tells me I do not have a licence for MAPI.

It is a communications utility that uses Nigel Coates MAPI class.

I have run regsvr to register the OCX and I have made sure that I have included the MAPI controls on my form even though Nigels MAPI class does not need them (it calls MAPI programmitically).

I have been told these controls need to be on a form for them to be registered properly.

This posting from Bela looks like it could be the answer but I am a bit confused by it

MSMAPI32.ocx is only a 'wrapper' for MAPI. You have to install MAPI before installing MSMAPI32.ocx.

But, once MSMAPI32.ocx is registered ether by regsvr32.exe or programatically, you only get this error,
 if you want to use this ocx by createobject() or addobject().
 These commands requires the client machine to have the design
 time licence. (MS doesnot give you the right to distribute the design time
 licence  to your clients.) How to avoid this?
Add this control to any of your form at desing time and instantiate that form.

And then use the MAPI control in your program. 

It says I must install MAPI,is this an option from the Windows NT install disk I must select? Do I have to reinstall the MSMAPI32.OCX afterwards?

How do I ensure all my users machines have this option. I am already using installshield and selecting all the MAPI components there but all the users machines still have this problem. Do I have to do 2 installs, one for MAPI and 1 for my APP?

I had better point out that the executable that is being installed on the users machine never gets run. Instead I am getting him to install the program to his drive C: and then he runs a copy of the exe in his test area on the WAN because it is more convenient for me to give him new executables that way.

My understanding in the past has been that if I give a user an install CD and he runs it then all futher VFP executables will run ok wherever he runs them from since all their componants are available to his machine.

I am now running behind schedule on this project so all help is most gratefully received.
