>I am not quite understand why you need top copy the folder structyre to the server. What are mpr filwes for?

I copied folder structure since I have a path statement that use then.
I copy MPR files because application seems to look for them (not sure why)

What I do copy are"
The executable, SDT support files (tables), and some tables (because previous developer put them there) in to root directory of the applcation
The tables in the appropriate sub-folders
Copy of work files that are copied to user pc
Copied files you suggest to root folder (I think I found the problem, enu dll I copied did was not the renu dll).

At least application starts now. Can do real testing

Thank you very much for your time and help (also to everyone else who responded).

>As a rule you need EXE file only and runtime libraries (they are three files I already mentioned). And as a rule you do not need to register them.
