Hilmar

we are running Novell (WOW does it suck!!) and the unc works fine here


>>the reason i dont use setup wizard is our network is a novell and users just map the network drive where the program is and this is shortcut in the desktop pointing out to the network exe.

>Instead of mapping, could you not use UNC (I don't know whether this works with Novell), like \\MyServer\MyApp\MyApp.exe?

>I have the same situation here - shared folder for EXE and data.

>I create a "phony" installation, and install some small program like calc.exe, to a folder like c:\TempFolder. (At least one program has to be included in the installation.)

>This is not completely clean, however, because of the TempFolder. Perhaps this could be removed somehow by a post-setup executable. Or placed in another folder, where it doesn't bother.
>
>This installation allows me to use the Setup Wizard to copy and register the VFP DLLs, and install ActiveX controls, copy and register the help support (support for CHM Help).

>HTH, Hilmar.

>You can simply have the DLLs in the same folder as the executable. You might still have problems with ActiveX, though.
