>We are currently running a number of pc's in a training environment where we have configured windows 95 to run off the server. For the most part, everything is running fine. However, we have a VFP 5.0a application that we wish to run from the individual stations, but when we do the netsetup it copies the vfp500.dll and associated files to the server's system directory and when the application is launched, a "Bad or Invalid VFP500.DLL" message is received. We have tried updating the OLEAUT32.DLL on both the server and local pc, have copied the VFP*.* files to the local windows\system directory, all to no avail. Does anyone have an idea I can try? Thanks -- Charles

You've gotta run the application setup wizard to create a setup directory for your application in some available directory on your server, then run the 'setup' in that directory on each machine to install it locally. You cannot just 'install' it to the network and expect it to run on the individual workstations - there's a bunch of registry stuff that doesn't happen that way, as well as some system files that won't be installed where they need to be.

I think so Brain, but "Snowball for Windows"?
