I'm using Visual Foxpro 9.
Now I have tried for the first time to install an application (which runs perfectly in the Foxpro environment for me (on computer no. 1)) on a foreign computer. This computer (I'll call it Computer2 here) doesn't have a Foxpro program on board.
On my computer I built an exe file of the starter program (prg) and copied all files in the folder to a USB stick.
Then I read to provide the 2 support files with that - but I only found VFP9ENU.dll in my VFP directory for VFP 9 - but not another file with the name VFP9.dll
I also copied VFPENU.dll to the stick and copied its contents into a directory on Computer2.
When I start the exe file on Computer2, the message appears:
"cannot locate the Microsoft Foxpro support library."

This is my question:
a) Where can I find the necessary VFP9.dll on computer no. 1?
b) have I forgotten any other actions?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tom,
your answer was very instructive and understandable. Thank you again.

I suspect that you simply add your individual config.fpw separately as a file to the * .exe - just as you pass all the necessary * .dll files with the * .exe to the set-up program when you write:

Code: 
First thing I do is adding a special file to my project called config.fpw.

Schönen Gruß
Klaus

If that is the case, then I understand everything.
In the meantime I am a long way ahead to produce an * .exe.
What I still want to find out, whether you really have to add all * .dll,
which have been listed above by Mauro and Rajesh.
Is there a source where you can get the respective global declaration for the purpose of a particular * .dll?


BTW
I've read your profile - and I'm also a big fan of Tommy Emmanuel and other guitarists like Chet Atkins, Steve Wariner, Pat Berguson, John Knowles, Richard Smith ... and also a friend of classical guitar.

I read those lines with so much of surprise and excitement!
By the way, I am also guitarist! :))

Hi Rajesh

that pleases me very much. I am also a guitarist and have a concert guitar - but I can only accompany drinking songs or when you are singing. But I have a lot of fun with it - and the people on our street always want me to be there when they celebrate and sing.
I've forgotten another genre: We have a top guitarist for gypsi-guitar - his name is Joscho Stephan.
Check out Youtube - he's a world-class guitarist.

Hi Klaus,

Thank you so much for writing about you with so much of enthusiasm.
However, if we continue, I think, this thread will fill with full of music but not VFP, ha ha...

It's a great feeling to be here in this forum where people share their knowledge and even keep personal relations.
Proud to be here!

I am in workshop of composing a song for my daughter (it's in English). It may take a while, maybe, but I would like to share it with people like you. So, if you don't mind and think would not be a problem for you, please share your email or any other mode of communication.

Hi, Rajesh

Thank you for your kind offer - but now I have a problem with something that can even be seen in your profile:

Please don't post your e-mail address or phone numbers because it attracts salespeople, spammers, and stupid recruiters to the forums and we do NOT want them around. Thank you.

I would really like to take your offer, but I don't know how to do it without violating the principles of this forum.
Maybe there is a third source that we could share?
I also don't have my own internet homepage ...

Best regards
Klaus

Klaus and Rajesh,

If you would both care to send an email to me, I will be happy to put you in touch with each other.

oh, Mike, thank you very much - you are the saving (male) angel.
I'll send you my email address - it starts with my first name (so you don't see it as spam.)

If you have any questions yourself (that have nothing to do with VFP, (I'm only a beginner)) then you are of course welcome to write to me.

Thanks again.

Hi Klaus,

Thank you for saying that you would share your contact!

Hi Mike!

When I saw your simple solution, in fact I did LOL! You're a fantastic person!
As usual, you are to the point, with a solution... Yeah! only the solution, no unwanted explanations, references etc etc.
Precise solution... Great! Thanks a lot!

I wouldn't need to think twice about sharing my email Id to you.

Klaus,

I'm still happy to put you in touch with Rajesh, if you would care to email me.

On another point, have you seen this thread: thread184-1806918? I'm drawing your attention to it because I know you are a landsman of Olaf's.

Mike

Hi Mike,
Thank you for pointing out the link regarding Olaf.
Unfortunately, I don't know Olaf personally.
But I was puzzled myself where he is because I've seen him here again and again with excellent contributions in the past
I'll check the Internet (especially on the German pages) to see if I can get a phone number Or find an address for him.
So far I only read that he would have to live in Hamburg.
If I find more, I'll get in touch here.

Greetings from Germany, where most of the people are waiting for Donald Trump not to win.

Mike -
Im Zusammenhang mit der Suche fand ich eine sehr interessante Seite im Netz, in der Olaf sehr gut schwierige Fragen aus der Physik, Astrophysik und noch viele weitere Themen beantwortet.
(click unter "Aktiv in English" dann kannst du sehen, dass er ein Multitalent ist...)

Oh sorry,
I wrote in German - here is the english text:

In connection with the search, I found a very interesting page on the net, in which Olaf answers difficult questions from physics, astrophysics and many other topics very well.
(click under "Active in English" then you can see that he is an all-rounder ...)

I saw that as well, but I noticed he had not posted on Quora since 18/10/20 - approximately the date of his last visit here and his last Tweet.

Klaus, I would still like to talk to you privately by email. You can find my email address on my website, the address of which is in my signature below.

Mike

Mike, I already wrote to you, but as I can see now, there was a typing error within your adress.
I just repeated that mail and it has gone to you.
