I have given my VFP 8 program to a friend. When the exe run it stops with the message it cant find Microsoft support libraries. The VFP folder with the dlls has been put into the microsoft shared folder. I also tried to copy over microsoft VFP 8/ not install it, and run the program from the developers program routine and was able to do this but still not the run time exe. I am not leaving the developers VFP on his computer but I would like to figure out what I have to do to get the run time to read/find the support libraries. Thanks in advance. hunter

Check to see what files you need to distribute. Also some of them need to be registered. Easiest way is to create a SETUP with InstallShield Express that comes with VFP8.

The best option might be to use the installshield app that came with VFP 8. If you are using any external dll's (for example, Filer.dll) you will need to install these as well. VFP has a help "walkthrough" on creating an install procedure that you can use.
