Cannot Locate Foxpro Support LIbraries - VFP 7 1

[mdav2]

I get the message "Cannot Locate Foxpro Support LIbraries" when I have built an exe. I have built the exe on a Win 2000 machine and I am trying to see if they will run on a windows 95 machine.

I've copied the mscvr70 file into the same directory as the exe as the pc requested this file. This gave the error above.

I then copied the two files Vfp7r.dll and fp7enu to the same directory and I get the following error:

"Visual Foxpro cannot start. Could not load resource. Press F1 for help". This happens in both a 2000 environment and a windows 95 environment.

The VFP 6.0 versions of the files works using this method so it may be possible VFP 7 exe's will not run under Windows 95.

If anyone can shed any light on this then it would be great.

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

Even for VFP 6.0, this "technique" wasn't recommended. There are a number of system support files that may need to be updated on systems that haven't been kept up-to-date - Win95 machines are always suspect now. (For these specific files see

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q190/8/69.asp

"INFO: Visual FoxPro 6.0 Required Run-Time Files". Note that this was written for the base release of VFP 6.0. You can check for the current versions of these files on a machine with SP4 (or SP5) installed and see what may need to be updated.)

Have you tried creating a simple install set with the InstallShield product included with VFP 7.0, just to see what files it thinks are important and what changes in the registry it might make?

Thanks for that I'll follow it up.

Mark,
I also just learned there is some additional info on the VFP 7.0 CD. Check the \technical articles\ directory for "vfpdeploy.doc", this has some useful info in it too.

I have found that the following files will allow you to run on a windows 95 machine. They need to be included either on the search path or in the directory where the executable resides.

Msvci70.dll
Msvcr70.dll (required)
Vfp7enu.dll
Vfp7r.dll (required)
Vfp7renu.dll (required)
Vfp7t.dll
Vfprun.exe

The (required) files seem to be the bare minimum required. As I do more testing I may find others that need adding and will amend this list.
