In v1.1 the runtime distribution will not compile and run .prg files. It will only run .dbo object files so make sure you have all of these deployed when you build your installer.
Be sure to test your installer first.
This important change means you don't have to deploy any source code to your users.

So the .prg's compile to .dbo files? Can we still choose to copy prg files manually if we like? will the runtime still run prgs? On another note.. I know vfpoledb is really just activex.. Are there any issues using vfpoledb to connect to my vfp tables and doing updates... I'm going to be running parallel with our old system... I was told that lianja itself can open vfp tables and update them, however, the indexes don't update...
Thanks
Jim

Hi Jim,
no that won't work. They are different formats.

Hi Jim,
The Lianja runtime will will only run compiled code.
The compiler is only enabled in the App Builder -- development mode, as that is the licensed product.
This is to prevent piracy.
Lianja is runtime royalty free desktop distribution but requires the apps to be compiled within the App Builder.

I don't think the VFP oledb driver will work with Lianja.

I have not tried it but if you install the vfpoledb driver then in Lianja;
SET DEBUG ON
vfpda = createObject("OLEDB.Connection")
I'd be interested to see if it loads and what is in debug_client.txt

I'll use odbc then.. I was going to only use the prgs for reports.. this way I could tweak them on the fly without a recompile...

Then you would need to set the connectionstring.
vfpda.ConnectionString = "Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;.....

Hi Jim,
You have to download the Lianja App Center separately and put it in the .\redist\ folder if you want to build an installer package.
Jim,
you do NOT have to install the app center with the app builder (as I found out last night <s>): you downloaded the app center install, and then place the downloaded exe in the redist directory.

Hi Jim,
FYI for Cloud Server .rsp files *are* just in time compiled. I'm only referring to .prg files for desktop Apps deployment and distribution.
