Hi Joe,

I can read what you wrote a couple of ways, but I'll assume you are creating an install .exe and you want to put that on the server so that workstations have access to it so they can run their setup. You said the first part was pretty easy so I assume you have the setup.exe on the server. With that, have the users use the UNC to find and execute the setup.exe. This way it won't matter which drive the workstation has mapped to the server. Provided the user has administrator privileges to the workstation they can run the setup.exe. The easiest way is to have them click start-run and then they can either manually type in the UNC or have them copy and paste it and then click OK. For example:

\\networkserver\folder\VFPInstall\setup.exe

HTH
