Interesting, the VFP being installed works. Have you checked the Wiki site for required install files?

Are the machines with VFP installed development machines with source code or no?

I have used the default VFP 8 Install shield successfully, if you need I can send you my list of included modules. But I admit they are somewhat pre selected based on my app needs.

>I am thinking that error is more on distributable vfp8 runtime. If the same exe runs in a pc with the full vfp8 development installed, we don't encounter the error.
