In setting up our installation routine a question came up as to file locations and search paths. We're talking about files like vfp8r.dll and msvcr70.dll. We're trying to determine the best way to install files so that we don't stomp on another app using the files and they don't interfere with ours. In many cases, registering a file means merely providing a path to it in the registry. It looks like a file could be searched for in any of the following: the home folder of the app, the Windows system folder, a shared folder of some sort, querying the registry, or using the system PATH environment variable. In what order would a VFP app search these locations?
