>>Barbara, PMBI here, but this issue puzzles me also. I do a full install/setup of the EXE on one (PTP) network machine. For my Workstation-Only installations the setup wizard is configured to contain only my config.fpw file (to the app dir). Within the wizard I select all necessary (runtime + odbc, etc) files and the distribution disks are created. I then install on the workstations. This seems to work fine - or am I missing something? Thanks!

Barbara, Thanks for the response and advice. I always try to be polite - and since I am relatively new to UT, I wanted to be **extra-sure** that I didn't step on anyone. AYK, the docs for VFP spend A LOT of pages discussing building distribution disks, but don't go into much detail on issues like the one in this thread, hence the confusion. Frankly, I stumbled onto my method, and wanted reassurance that what I was doing was correct! (For me, It's tough enough going from 2.6/DOS to VFP 5). Thanks Again!!
Joe :-)
