Note
The .exe file operates with the Visual FoxPro dynamic-link (.dll) libraries, VFPVersionNumberR.dll and VFPVersionNumberRENU.dll, which you need to distribute with your application to provide a complete Visual FoxPro run-time environment for your application. VersionNumber represents the version number of Visual FoxPro that you use to create the .exe file. These files are located in the ..\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP directory.
