Installing runtime dll to run exe on a distant computor 3

[huntert]

I have a Visual Foxpro 7 program that other at work want to use. I have placed it on a server to allow others to download the exe file and the data files will stay on the Server for all to share. How do I get the dll files necessary for run time installed on the others machine. The program is not finishes and is not ready to be place on a disk to distribute and looking at the InstallShield, this option does not make sense now. I have looked thru the docuementation but can find the answer. Thanks. Hunter

You will need to copy:

vfp7r.dll
vfp7renu.dll

to folder where is exe file.

I assume you are still working on the code - if so, why not map the server drive and let the users access both data and the EXE from the server. Load vfp7*.dll into that same directory and when you make changes to the code you don't have to redistribute EXE files. The down-side is slow loading of the EXE file.

It's also possible that any given workstation won't have compatible system support .DLLs. A workstation install of minimally the runtimes is ALWAYS a better option.
