I could use some help with path management in distributed applications. My applications usually launch via a startup.prg which contains a couple of statements like this:
set default to \foxpro\rtp_new
set path to .\data,.\programs,.\reports,.\forms,.\classes,.\menus,..\classes
This works fine on the development machine. However, when the application is compiled, distributed, and installed by various users, it may not reside in the "\foxpro\rtp_new" directory and the set path to statement will generate an error if the user has installed it somewhere else.
I have tried various uses of sys(2003) and sys(2004) but I can't seem to find a technique that works well on both the development machine and the final user's machine unless I absolutely control where the user installs the application. Many users don't like to be told where the application must reside and so I need to find a way to give the greater flexibility. Can someone advise on the proper technique for this?
Thanks
