The Wiki topic http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~Edit~VFP8RuntimeFiles~VFP shows the correct location under "Default location". The "Other Locations" column says you can put the VFP runtime files in WinSysDir. While technically you can, Windows guidelines recommend that only Windows files go there, so no application files, including runtimes. It sounds like you're using Installshield express, which will correctly place the runtime files.

>Hi Every body
>I want to make the setup for VFP8 runtime library. VFP7 runtime files in destination SystemFolder are working good. I want to know the proper destination for the VFP8 runtime files. There are three destinations mentioned as per Wiki site and it is also written not to put the DLLs in WinSysDir.

>Which one is the proper destination for dll's? what should be INSTALLDIR?
>Second is it necessary to make two setups to install GDI+ first and then rest of the files to register runtime files or single setup will do the both things.?
>Should I mention the destination of each merge module or INSTALLDIR is enough?
