George, Kevin, thanks.

I should have been more detailed: my application is in VFP6. At startup, I'd like it to check if VFP8r.dll & VFP8t.dll are registered. If not, to copy them from the server and register them, in preparation for the coming upgrade to VFP8.
So I don't have a ProgId for this DLL, nor can I instantiate a VFP8 object.
