>After your reply I tried this path+file (opposed to file-only) way of retrieving. And indeed it retrieved the version number. How's the situation on your machine if you leave out the path? Point is, I know of no way to retrieve the full path of the vfp runtime lib that's used for the running application.

Peter,
Indeed it also "failed" on my system when leaving off the path info. I guess one way of finding out where the files reside, would be to walk through the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs\ and find the file. They all seem to be "registered" here. (I'm sure someone has posted code to do this before.)
