I have created an installation progra using InstallShield Express 5.0 for my VFP 8.0 program. The program has run fine on several computers. However, a client recently installed the program in a Windows 2000 machine using a domain login. The Installshield setup.exe runs as expected. However, when the user runs our vfp 8.0 application, the get an error : "gdiplus could not be found" and "vfp8r.dll is damaged or invalid."

we have used this same setup program on other networks using a domain login. The problem happens when the pc owner logs in and when the network admin logs in. The user has been made "admin" for their pc.
 
The following link would show you all the runtime files of VFP8 and where they should normally be installed. If these files are not in the path, your app will complain about DLLs. Please make sure that the path is correct for that particular user or you can simply copy all required DLLs in the same folder from where you are running the application. You should not have any problem.
