how do i run a foxpro 2.6a 32-bit extended standalone exe in Windows Server 2008 r2 64-bit?

[jramkla]

I wish to run a legacy software developed in foxpro 2.6a for dos on a Windows 2008 server r2 64-bit?

I tried using both dosbox as well as tamedos, but the standalone exe gives the following errors:
"Illegal seek offset"
"expression evaluator fault"

I have no option but to cancel and exit the software.

Please help with a solution. Thanks in advance

Illegal seek offset" is usually caused from a bad index file. However, it's possible the table and index files are not getting updated or flushed correctly or fast enough that the internal working recognize they are. It's also possible you can't run the app at all on the 64 bit machine. Foxprow windows will not run on a 64 bit platform.
I'm not familiar with the "expression evaluator fault" error.
