Hi Martin,

Thank you for your response. I've included appropriate VFP runtimes, but did not build an installation from Installshield. I'll try it though. What I do want to know is why is it that we run into problems if we try to register VFP8 dll's by hand, whereas, there's no problem with VFP7 dlls.
If I'm not mistaken, Installshield will also need to be pointed to the files that are to be included in the build.

Thanks again,

>>I've registered the necessary libraries of VFP8 from \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP. All associated dll's (msvcr70.dll and gdiplus.dll) are also present in Winnt\system32 and \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP respectively.
