SUMMARY
By default, the Setup Wizard installs the Visual FoxPro version 3.0 runtime
library (VFP300.ESL) in the Windows System directory, instead of the
directory where the rest of the application files are installed.
NOTE: In Step 6, you will not see VFP300.ESL listed in the grid.
The grid in Step 6 only lists the files that are located in
< your Distribution Tree directory >.
The Setup Wizard automatically copies the compressed version of VFP300.ESL
from the \VFP\Distrib directory to your disk images directory. When you run
SETUP.EXE from the disk images, it installs VFP300.ESL in the
\Windows\System directory.
NOTE: The advantage of keeping the VFP300.ESL in the \Windows\System directory is that you can have multiple Visual FoxPro applications sharing a single VFP300.ESL runtime library. MORE INFORMATION
To install the runtime library VFP300.ESL into the application directory
instead of the \Windows\System subdirectory (which is consistent with
FoxPro 2.x Setup Wizard behavior), do the following:
Here FOXTOOLS.FLL is a file in the application directory. This approach
does have a disadvantage - each Visual FoxPro application must have its own
copy of the runtime library.
A better approach to resolving the issue of locating the application directory is to replace all SYS(2004) references with SYS(16). The SYS(16) function returns the application path and at the same time allows you to take advantage of having multiple Visual FoxPro applications sharing a single VFP300.ESL runtime library.
