I'm moving an app from v6 to v8 sp1 runtime. Since the installs will be done from a network, not from CDs, I (stupidly) thought I could just copy the support library files to the client PC, but I finally gave up on that and created a setup.exe with InstallShield. But after I run the resulting installation, I have two problems:

1) It can’t find the support library where InstallShield puts it (…shared\vfp). But if I then manually copy the DLL files from there to the app’s folder, it works.

2) But even then it does NOT work for one particular user. When that user logs in and runs the app they get “Fatal error: Exception code=C0000005…VFP8R…”. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled while logged in as the admin and while logged in as the user. The “problem” user has the same security settings as all the other non-admin users, including both the LAN and the local domain. These are W2K machines with roaming profiles, and, yes, the problem also “roams” with the user. Some of my initial (non-InstallShield) experiments were conducted while logged in as this user, FWIW.

Any ideas?
