>>>I have a system that is written in Visual Foxpro 5.0 and I am ready to set up the users PC's with this application. In our environment here, it is strongly requested to run everything from the Server. In previous versions of Fox, I could put the ESL file with the Executable and other tables, etc, and run the executable without installing anything on the users PC if it was on a Win 95 PC.

>>>Now, I get an error message that says "Visual Foxpro cannot start. Could not load resources...". I have tried putting the VFP500.DLL with the Executable or the Windows\System directory. I'm a little baffled as to why this won't run. According to Fox documentation, it should work, unless I missed something.

I don't want to scare you, but just one thing from my own experience. I saw couple times VFP app working on workstation w/out Setup process applied, and producing unexpected crashes on seemingly accidental basis. The idea is that avoiding normal Setup, you just take chances.
