Hi Foxgang

I have an annoying issue with VFP9 and Win7. I assume win7 pro but its a clients machine.

I have updated the runtimes to SP2 and an EXE written in SP1 runs fine on SP2 runtimes. Now I rebuilt the exe using SP2 and it fails. The program looks for an ini file to determine the data directory and if it does not find one it asks for the directory. The SP1 built exe (running on SP2 runtimes) works fine. Reads the ini file and runs ok. The SP2 exe asks for the data directory. Not only that but I look for some setup files, which are there. They are created if not found but the new exe tries and fails to create them giving more failures. And I think it shows one of the ocx controls failing to load as well. Not a problem with the SP1 version. I assume this is possible a permissions problem with Win 7 but I don’t know. Anyone have any ideas on this.

SP2 runtimes seem not to be an issue as the SP1 exe runs on them fine. So its the SP2 exe. Yet a full install of the application with exe, ocx.s runtime etc works fine in another location.

TIA
