>>OK, then I think we can see where the confusion is coming from. Again, I don't know if this is because of the differences in the versions. My readme only mentions that you can't install on Windows NT Terminal Server Edition. Further, it doesn't specifically mention NT in what platform you can distribute. It does mention NT in the help proper.

Bearing in mind most of us have only the early beta, subject to possible change...but that may be the only way to settle the "support" issue, for now. By "support," I mean it thus: will a fairly simple vfp8-compiled application-install run without problems. Not whether vfp8 itself will run, or whether MS will offer tech support.

Bruce,

First of all, it's been good to see you back on-line. As a side note, and knowing that you've dealt with PowerBuilder people in the past, I want to mention, that our department is dropping PB and going to .NET and VFP.< bg >

Frankly, I'd put the onus on Microsoft to tell us. The docs that I've seen (and I'm not a beta tester and just have access to the public beta), only say that you can't install on NT Terminal Server. Similarly, when I search the docs on "Windows NT", I get 23 hits, and the ones I've looked at all have to do with the procedures necessary to get an application installed on an NT workstation. Further, the readme (and help) file conspicuously omits NT as an installable, for applications, platform.

I'd like something clear cut from Microsoft. We know the development platform. So what exactly are the run-time platforms? It seems pretty much of a grey area right now.

FWIW, I've no problem with the development platforms. IMV, any serious developer should be running Win2K SP2 or later.
