Installed, or otherwise available. At first, I put the required DLLs into the same shared folder as the executable. Yes, this worked, but I don't have the list of required files in VFP7. In VFP6, you can just search the Windows folder for VFP*.DLL.

Then I ended up having several folders with executables, and decided it was less trouble to run a small installation program on each machine.
