Chris,
Foxpro for windows is a 16 bit application and will therefore NOT run natively on Windows 7 64 bit. You will have to run it under XP mode using the Virtual XP PC you can download from Microsoft. Either that or use Virtualbox to run an OS of whatever you desire.

Oh, and the Emulator isn't available in Windows 7 Home, only Professional, ultimate and enterprise. So you will have to use either Virtual Box or VMWare for Home.

Chris,
Have you tried simply running the app under VFP 9? You may need some cosmetic changes and a few code chanhes that VFP will force you into due to better syntax/context checking, but it should run relatively unchanged. I must admit the results never look as good as a natice VFP app though, but it will work.
Dave

Thanks all for your replies.
Virtual PC has been explored or "XP Mode" as Microsoft have badged it. It's not very practical though as it runs so slow. Any other Virtual PC options also have the same "overhead" issue for us and it adds an unwanted level of complication for the end user.
We can't consider running the application under VFP as it's not our application! All our work in VFP9 to the side is fine.
I think the best solution is to install Windows 7 32Bit.
I assume it does work on Windows 7 32Bit, I previously said it did but need to test it again incase I'm making an incorrect assumption.
Thanks
Chris.

Hi Chris,
Check if 'hardware virtualization' is enabled. You may need to enable
this in the BIOS. Of if you're unlucky your CPU might not support it.
VirtualPC will run much faster with this.

Thanks for the heads up Paul that wasn't a setting I was aware existed so a useful one for the future!

It is already getting less easy to find Win7/32 from the OEMs.
