In the paragraph discussing the new dependency file in VFP 8, we stated: "The GDIPlus.dll file must be registered before the VFP8R.dll if you are manually installing them or using an installer package that is not using Windows Installer Merge Modules."

As described elsewhere in this chapter, small updates to a product use the same product version as the earlier release of the product.
