Thanks memarques. This is something that didn’t come to my mind. According to Lenovo, it seems my BIOS is a couple of months outdated. Will try that and report.

Hi Guys, After a long pause, I was finally able to get down on the project of replacing my old Hard Drive for an SSD-Drive, and also installed Win 10 on it. That part went very well- I am pleased with the new setting. After a while I downloaded “Stock Investor Pro” and was hoping for flawless...

Hey guys, Long time. I’m here just to report that I made no progress yet... Was totally swamped with work. The capital markets weren’t particularly nice to “Stock Investor Pros” [pipe] Finally I got this process moving again, and should be getting my new SSD, cabinet for it, and Win 10 in a...

Thank you Olaf for your most extensive reply. I gave Koen the installer file itself (not the link), i.e the very same file I used to install the software on my machine.

Hi Guys, 1. I was finally able to find what mike was referring to (compatibility options). As is with Koen, this menu is accessible through a slightly different path on my machine. Anyway, what do you guys suggest as the “best” OS to choose? I have a selection range from Win 95 to Win 8 (and...

Mike, I am getting the same menu and same process. Does your suggestion function under Win8.1?

Yes, you're right Tore. Just talked to the technician at the shop and he said the same. I won't be able to complete this project this week. Will report ASAP. Thanks!

Hi Guys. Just a quick update. Koen did some hard work on my PC: renaming files, copying some of them to other locations, and finally uninstall and reinstall. Thank you Koen! However, the symptom remained. So… I am getting an Upgrade to Win 10 (now I am running Win 8), and will try again...

There is no trace of "foxuser.dbf" on my machine at all... Does this mean anything?

Hi, Me and Koen were communicating over email, and Koen told me he was able to make "Stock Investor" fully functional with the login credentials I gave him. IMHO that would mean that the installation file is not broken. I guess some other thing on my PC is hindering the software. I could not...

Thank you Olaf. Koen- Your suggestion is sensible. This trial may indicate if the fault lies within the installation file. I will send you the data over email for better security.

Olaf- I renamed the two files (one at a time) but the software failed on both renames. Oddly enough, the rename operation in “C:\Windows\SysWOW64” required elevation (which I granted) to complete. In the other directory this was not required. The end result was nevertheless the same. Tough luck.

Hi, I haven’t done yet any deletions or uninstalled anything. Was planning to do that over the weekend. I looked up msvcr71.dll on my computer and found there is one in SysWOW64 with Product Version 7.10.7031.4 and another one in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Stock Investor\Professional” with Product...

Koen- I’d like to get a little bit specific. I hope you’re Ok with that. By “repeat all vfpruntime“, do you mean re-run the Installer Olaf recommended? Should the Runtimes in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP” be uninstalled first? Could they be uninstalled, or normal...

Olaf- I moved the “runtimes” that were still in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Stock Investor\Professional” from this directory to another drive. The runtimes I tampered with were: msvcr71.dll GdiPlus.dll vfp9r.dll VFP9RENU.dll I did this one step at a time. After I moved the first three files, there...

I ran and vfp9sp2rt.exe and installed the runtimes to the default directory. Then ran the software and got again the message “Executable has stopped”. At this point I started fiddling with stuff that came with software, and ran an “Update Utility” that is part of it. To my knowledge, this should...

Thank you Olaf and Tore for your comments. Olaf- I went on and downloaded vfp9sp2rt.exe from GitHub and started installing. While I was going about this, this Installer asked me where do I want the files copied to. The Installer’s default was “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft...

I did as Olaf suggested. I looked up “cmd” in the windows search box and then right click “cmd.exe” from the list and “Run as Administrator”. In the console windows that opened up I typed in the name of the Installer file, and let it do its thing. Then I ran the software, but the same old...

You may be onto something, because the Vendor’s support also asked me once if the installation process had Administrator privileges. I started the installer (more than once) with a right-click and then chose “Run as Administrator”. Maybe this was not enough?! I had the impression the installer...

I have copied the correct gdiplus.dll from the SysWOW64 but the symptom is unchanged. “..Executable file has stopped…” In the application’s directory there are 5 OCX files COMDLG32 Cttree FlpGrf Ctcalc REPCDLG All of them seems kind of antique as they are dated to the years 1998-2000. I have...
