>Almost all of these DLLs (not sure about MSCANS32.DLL only) would be even distributed with plain VFP application, so you probably shouldn't worry about them at all. I think you could first run Setup Wizard to create distrib package w/out Active-X and see what dll you already catch.

Thanks - Ed,

I am currently using PC-Install to distribute this application. Maybe it would be a good idea to first setup in VFP Setup Wizard to see what files the Setup Wizard sets up for registering!? I tried Setup Wizard several months ago and don't recall anything being setup to be registered, just copied. So maybe I don't have to worry about the above DLL's with regards to having PC-Install register them, just make sure they are copied to WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory (only if newer version). Would you agree?
