I/O error when starts Myapp.exe

[newtofoxpro]

I have added .BMP files to my Project which creates Myapp.exe While starts Myapp.exe I/O error comes. If I put any CD in CD-ROM Drive, Myapp.exe runs without any error.

Thanks in advance

I haven't thought about this is a long time, but it's an old known bug in FoxPro 2.x, relating to having built the application on the D drive. Looks like this page has a reasonably good explanation:

Thank You,

I too think that I remember WAY BACK when I encountered this problem.

I ended up using a HEX Editor on the EXE file to locate where the D: drive was referenced. Then (after having ensured that I had a good backup copy) I changed the D: to C:, save the changes and things worked just fine.

Good Luck,

Another possibility may be:

create a subdirectory d on drive c: (boot drive)
and then issue subst to create the CD ROM Drive Letter

for cd drive d:, do the following

c:
md \d
subst d: c:\d

if it works fine, then put these 3 lines in a batch file and run this at boot time. You have to reassign the CD-Drive letter to another drive letter, which you do through operationg system.
