I distributed the runtimes by creating a setup progam using VFP 7.0 Install shield express. Installed on Citrix Servers that never had VFP of any type installed, and on individual workstations that were new and never had VFP runtimes installed. Did you ever test and it failed? You have me wondering what might be different now? I know I tested the other way around too, and VFP 7.0 .exe's won't run under VFP 6.0 runtimes.




>John,
>Really? I have wonder what I'm missing. I have never seen a VFP6 exe run where there weren't the runtimes installed. Perhaps, Gaylen, you should conduct your own test to see for yourself. Don't take my word for it!

>>Actually I have many machines with only the VFP 7.0 runtime installed running VFP6 .exe's. I had tested before doing this and have had no problems. I did it because I wanted to make sure I did not have to install both the VFP 6.0 and 7.0 runtimes on new PC's while transitioning from 6 to 7.

>>>>>>>I need to know if I will have any problems running VFP6 generated exe's on a machine with only the VFP7 runtime. I want to slowly upgrade the client's computer with the VFP7 runtimes as I add new applications. A number of the older machines will have both VFP6 and VFP7. However,in some cases such as a new machines the only runtime will be VFP7. I would test it myself but my machines have both VFP6 and VFP7 runtime on them and I need to install today.
