We (in this department) have a small FoxPro executable written in FoxPro
2.6. It's been running fine on a dedicated machine in the customer area
until about six months ago, when the users determined that they needed
to both move it to other desktops and to modify it. We haven't yet
tried to modify it because we can't get it to run on my desktop but
mine, so far. I have VFP 7.0 installed, as well as 2.6.
The new users - the customers - get the error message above, which is
pretty surprising since 2.6 is pre-VFP but I assume it is a Windows
thing. I'm using Windows XP Pro 2002 service pack 2, as are they.
I looked this message up online and found the recommendation to copy two
files (vfp6r.dll, vfp6renu.dll) to c:\windows\system directory of the
desktop with the problem. The tech guy has done that, but is still
getting the error. My desktop has the vfp8 version of those files; the
directory containing the executable that we're trying to run contains
the vfp5 versions.
Any suggestions? We added the directory containing all of the Fox DLLs
to the PATH statement on the desktop, but that did not solve the
problem, either.
