Cannot Locate VFP Support Library in Windows XP

Hi,

I created a VFP application along with the run time file and distributed to
a client who is running Win XP.

After they install the application, when they login as Administrator to that
computer, they can run the app without a problem. But when they login as a
restricted user they are getting an error saying "Cannot locate Microsoft
Visual Foxpro Support Library"

Any ideas?

Best Regards,
Y. Sivaram

I think this is a security problem. Make sure the other users can access the
runtime files and the parent folder (ntfs permissions).

Thanks Eric,

I have asked them to check the permissions for the folders like
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP

I will post an update when I get some details.

It's important to install the application while logged in as an =
administrator - it's necessary so that all users can see both the system =
and application files - especially under a NTFS setup.

Did you create the application using Installshield?? Did you check the
box that says allow all users access to the file when you made up the
distribution files.??
