Runtime files

[EzLogic]

I have vfp 7. and I need to install the exe on the stations. I don't want to use the installshield.
the data are on the Server, and all I need is the exe to run. What dll files do I need to copy to each machine? and where do I copy them?

vfp7*.dll? Tekno

HI
The runtime files depend on your configuration. But the basic files are..
VFP7R.DLL
VFP7RENU.DLL
VFP7T.DLL
MSVCR70.DLL
and your .EXE
YOu can copy all these files in your application directory also if you want to avoid a setup installation.

The language options ODBC etc connectivity requirement files need to be checked by you.

Another easy way is to create your setup using the instashield and then look into your setup directories. All the files required will be available in some directory or other and this can be all brought into one directory and then you can copy all these files in your application directory. Hope this helps you

Tekno,
You may want to reconsider "just copying files". The VFP runtime files really need to be registered also and there are certain system support files that may need to be added or updated for your application to run properly. The newest OS (XP) doesn't like you to copy system files where they "don't belong", and a true Windows installer is critical to get things right.

This being said, on your VFP 7.0 CD look for a "technical articles" directory, and then read the"vfpdeploy.doc" - it lists the minimal required files.
