Hi Stan,

In VFP9, the merge module that installs the VC++ runtime file installs it to the application's directory instead of to the system directory. This is documented under "Changes in Functionality" in the VFP9 Help file, which also describes how to install it to a different location if you need to.

>I am in the process of migrating from VFP8 to VFP9. I used the version of InstallShield that comes with VFP9 to build a small exe for the purpose of installing the VFP9 run time libraries on the network workstations that will be running our VFP apps.
>
>When I ran the above exe on one of our workstations and then attempted to launch one of our VFP apps that I rebuilt in VFP9, I got the message that the MSCVR71.DLL could not be found. Using explorer, I found the MSCVR71.DLL in the folder of the small exe referred to in the first paragraph. I found that I could copy the MSCVR71.DLL to the folder of the application I was trying to launch or to the C:\WINNT\System32 folder and the app would launch OK.
