It seems the IT guy has got it running. I am waiting to find out what he did. One thing bugging me though. In the past I have heard several comments on placing the runtimes in the exe (app) directory. Ok what if you have more than one app as some users do. As the runtime requires registering this would seem to be an odd idea. You can't register the runtimes in two locations after all. As for the current ex-problem, I found it easier to set it up on a windows 8 machine. Worked fine there. One other note, I seem to remember there are two mcvc?71.dll's but I'm not sure if VFP needs them or Craig's vfpencryption.fll Oh yes and Ken, all rights in the exe is the first thing I thought of because I keep tables there.

Beyond that, if users run as restricted users, give them modify permissions on the application directory. Finally, on Vista or later, do NOT install your application to ..\Program Files\[whatever]. Put it in the root, or in ..\Users\Public. With these things in place I've never had a problem.
