Allen,

Welcome to the UT.

You don't have to do it from the network server itself, unless you want to run the application on the server itself.

However, if you want DLL's to be properly registered, you will have to run the setup from *every* workstation. You are going to have to do this at least once for each workstation, if they have not had a VFP application (with the proper runtime version) installed on that workstation previously.

The application will run much better from each workstation's local harddrive. If you add a launcher to the mix (go to the download section, search for "Laucher", and find Nick's...it is easy to implement), you get the extra benefit of being able to update the .exe on the server while users are still using the application. When they close down the application and restart it, they will now have the most current version on their hard drive.

HTH...

>I have a vfp 6.0 app that I want to install on a network drive. I have created an uncompressed setup.exe from the setup wizard. Can I do the installation to the network location from my workstation, or do I need to do it from the network server itself?
