>I need programically (from VFP6.0) determine what versions of VFP runtime files have been installed on a workstation. Need to determine if programs compiled for VFP7.0, and VFP8.0 will run on a computer.


Ronald,

You can use code from Re: How to verify if an OLE control is installed... Message #817905 to check if "VisualFoxpro.Runtime.8" or/and "VisualFoxpro.Runtime.9" is installed. You can also get location of the VFP runtime library by slightly modifing the code. After that you can use AGETFILEVERSION() to make sure that VFP runtime has correct version (build number).
