You cannot run a VFP7 EXE without the VFP7 EXE runtime files. You can
however:
- run a VFP7 EXE within a VFP8 process (do vfp7prog.exe)
- recompile your VFP7 project in VFP8

Hi Jackthy:

No, a VFP 7.0 exe only runs with the VFP 7.0 runtime files (VFP7r.dll and
VFP7renu.dll). If you want to run the code in VFP 8.0, you need to
recompile it in VFP 8.0 Development version and distribute the VFP 8.0
runtime files.

I hope this helps and have a Happy New Year!
