>> Rick ...over to you!<< Thanks Dave!
My documentation on running various versions of VFP 9 is for the development environment, not production. It sounds like Rodney is looking to update production environments. >> I have an Inno Setup installer that just does the runtime. If I patch my environment and rebuild the setup, will that be good enough to get the users of the app up to date?<< In the case of production, Inno Setup is a terrific way to update the runtimes. I also have a setup of the runtimes so I can install just those files on a workstation. One recommendation I make is to keep the version of VFP you build with and the version of the runtimes in sync. If you compile with VFP 9 SP1, deliver the SP1 runtimes. I have read stories from other VFP developers and even experienced it myself where the version of Service Packs is not a problem, and maybe this is true for those folks. I don't know of any technical limitations other than new command tokens in the compiled code not working in older runtimes. But I have experienced strange unexplained performance of my code and it was corrected with the proper version of the runtimes. If you have apps that are compiled in different versions of VFP and they have to run on the same computers then just dump the runtimes into the application folder. It is simple to do this with Inno Setup.
