FW: "Cannot locate the Microsoft Visual FoxPro Support Library"VFP7.0

Here I am again, with almost the same problem, this time with VFP 7.0.

I'm trying to run an executable created in VFP 7.0 on a server that uses

Windows 2000, and I'm getting the library error ("Cannot locate the

Microsoft Visual FoxPro support library.") I've added vfp6r.dll,

vfp6renu.dll files to the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

directories on the server (just in case it should be one or the other,

so you have you first clue that I don't know what I'm doing, I suppose).

No go.

I also created a directory containing the .DLL files and my executable,

on the theory that Windows 2000 wanted everything in the same place. No

go. The new directory has been added to the PATH statement.

I'm not using InstallShield, but rather creating the executable from the

FoxPro project, which has worked for me until this problem arose. How

can I include the runtime files when the executable is created, so that

it will run on Windows 2000?

Thanks,

Catherine Hines
