VFP8 Runtime Files? 1

[diarmaid]

I have a VFP8 .EXE file that I want to give to other users that don't have VFP8 installed, so they need the runtime files.

Can anyone tell me what files I need to give in order to let other PC's/users use the .EXE with runtime.

With VFP7 I used to distribute:

VFP7R.DLL
VFP7RENU.DLL
MSVCR70.DLL

I have found VFP8 equivilant for the first two of these but there is no MSVCR80.DLL on the VFP8 installation, there is a newer MSVCR70.DLL, but I still cant run the app.

Thanks,
Diarmaid

Diarmaid,

Rather than trying to figure out the files yourself, it is much easier to use InstallShield Express, which comes with VFP 8.0.

InstallShield Express will create a complete setup package for you. You can distribute this to the user, who then only needs to double-click on an icon and follow some prompts.

Thanks all,

I gone the route of InstallShield and it does the business just fine. Don't know why I didnt use it long ago ...

Hope you're keeping well Mike.
