>If I patch my dev copy of VFP6, then create a distribution for an app which includes VFP6 runtime, will users who install my app be protected or vulnerable?
Hi Al,
It's my hunch that the flaw requires the developer version of VFP on a machine. So, if your clients only have the runtime dlls, then there's no problem. Then there will be no mechanism that automatically starts an APP. And if some of your clients have the dev-version (too), and if it's not there due/thanks to you, then there's also no problem, formally spoken. Although you might want to confront those persons with the link of the MS-webpage, as a service.
Groet,
Peter de Valença
Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
