>No. The problem is the full version requires you to copy the merge modules to a specific directory if you want them available. I think the vfp7t.dll is not being installed, and I'm not sure why. Do you happen to know which dll's are required to run VFP?

There're thre dll's in the Vfp7Runtime.msm file:

Vfp7renu.dll
Vfp7r.dll - requred only to run MTDLL's
Vfp7t.dll

You would also need MSVCRT.DLL (MSVCRT.MSM).
