Fox 2.6a exe won't run on win 2k Server

[Dgoldswo]

Actually it won't run on the win2k workstations attached to a win2k server. It runs fine on the server but when trying to run it from a workstation it fails.
The error message is
EXE FILE IS INVALID OR MISSING.

What exactly do you have in the shortcut on the Workstation? Are you trying to run the Developer Environment, or simply an application? Is this FP DOS or FP for Windows? If FPW, have you applied the high speed CPU patch?

I am trying to run an application that is residing on the network. It is an executable created in FPW 2.6a. I have applied dzpatch to the esl file and the executable. I don't have a shorcut on the workstation desktop at this point, I am trying to run it from the command prompt by entering the network path.

If you've got the Development Environment running (that's the hard part), then what's the exact command you are trying. Remember because FPW is based in the 16-bit world, it doesn't work with long file names (or UNCs). Are you setting an appropriate path before trying to start .EXE (.APP?).

And foxpro (all versions) will work on w2k - quite well I might add. Make sure your config.nt has your files statement in it like > files=100 and your autoexec.nt has a statement in it like > path=c:\fox (or to any local folder) you've specified within your config.fp(w) file. Search the threads for config.fp for examples.
