distributing DLL

Hi friends

I've created a DLL in vfp8.i want to distribute to some software vendors .
my question is do i need to distribute vfp runtime files also along with my
DLL?

i tried using my DLL in VB on a machine which has no foxpro s/w and got
runtime errors(like activex objects cant.....etc.,)
but it worked fine when i copied vfp runtime files to the folder where my
DLL exist.
could u guys tell how you u normally distribute a DLL created in vfp.
Thanks

Hi Rajani:

You need VFP8r.dll -single threaded dll
Or
VFP8t.dll- Multi threaded DLL
VFP8renu.dll
MSVCR70.dll
GDIplus.dll

You can use InstallShiled Express to distribute all these files via merge
modules.

I hope this helps.

Hi Rajani:

Thank you.

Yes. If you are distributing to Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server, you
don't need GDI Plus. However, you can distribute it if you want to do so.

I hope this helps.
