Fox 2.6 call to a visual exe

[Guest_imported]

According to what I read in visual help, I should be able to execute a visual EXE file with just two dlls: vfp6r and vfp6renu. I am actually calling this from within a foxpro 2.6 application to get a printing feature from visual. This exe is a 10 line program. I do not want to do a full install of visual. When I try this on my development machine, it works great. But with the dlls, it gives me "vfp6r invalid or damaged". I tried reinstalling visual, and tried this on two computers with the same problem. Am I missing something? On compuserve's forum, one user said he got it to work. Could my dll really be damaged?

If I was doing this, what I would try was:
In VFP create a standalone exe.
Install the exe with runtime modules on the computers that need it.
from FPW call the VFP exe

There are additional files as well, and they must be placed in the correct directory.
