With a largish VFP7 user base and an imminent VFP8 upgrade, it would be great to know if there is a simple way of distributing/copying the new VFP8 runtime files and running some sort of "batch" process to register/install them without having to go through an InstallShield type process.

Hi Gary,

See

While it may not be the "scientific" :) way, I often just copy those files to appropriate directories and that's all "deployment" I need.
