EXE From VFP7.0 wont run as stand alone

[rpp]

Hi Experts,

I am having trouble getting my EXE file, that ran fine when Under VFP 6.0, to run in stand alone environment. The error message is

"c:\program files\myapp.exe is not a Visualt FoxPro .EXE file."

I have included in this exe's folder the VFP 7.0 runtime dll's as well as "vfp7run.exe"

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Richard

Did you recompile it in VFP7.0?

You cannot run a VFP app by including dlls in the folder. You will have to create an install using Installshield. You will have to read the docs to make sure you include the proper dlls.

Thanks guys,

Yep Recompiling in 7.0 was the trick, all is well now.

Thanks for your help.
