Well that was a surprise. Loaded a VFP exe on Windows 8 and it worked. Once.
Then it says about not being able to open a dbf in windows/system32. WFT I
do not even put a table there. Looks like Windows 8 is going to be harder
than windows 7 to work with

I installed our product on it and it worked fine. I would hope the
windows\system32 thing is a permissions issue, and DBF files shouldn't
be in there anyway.

Allen,
Do you have an included CONFIG.FPW file that contains RESOURCE=OFF?
Do you need the Resource file during your application?
Is there now a FOXUSER.DBF in the folder in question?

I'm glad I don't use DBFs anymore!

I do have a config built in with resource off.
The reason turned out to be the "start in" for the shortcut. Fun to find in
windows 8. Once I fixed it as the same directory as the exe all was well. I
don't know why it starts in system32 though. That's just daft

Is system32 where you have the VFP runtime installed?

They seem to be in program files (x86)/common files/Microsoft shared/VFP as
normal. Only thing I can think of is the c runtime which could well be in
system32.

Allen,
Maybe some preventive code at startup:
SET DEFAULT TO (JUSTPATH(_VFP.SERVERNAME))

Your app should not touch anything into c:\windows\system32 and other
system folders.
