I/O Operation Error with FPW26 and W2K - HELP!

[ABQMark]

I installed a compiled .EXE (from FPW26) inclu. the ESL file into directory.

In Windows 2000, first thing I get is an I/O Operation error (no other detail). But, When I have identical directory in my windows ME, it runs fine.

Can you help?

Thanks, Mark Geer

First, make sure you have the fast processor patch(es) installed. Do a keyword search in this forum and you'll find all sorts of threads on this. Next, make sure you have full read/write/erase access to the directories on the 2000 machine, especially where the FOXUSER.DBF file is and where temp files get written.

Mark,
Also make sure W2K has been upgraded to SP2 or better SP3 - there were some buffering problems for certain configurations in earlier versions.

Assuming the files are on a server, what OS is it running? If it's a Novell server, are you running MS or Novell client, and if the Novell client, is it 4.83 SP1?

This might sound stupid but you may want to look at it:

I had the same error when I compiled up my Foxpro app on my X: drive. When it was run on my client's machine it would get an I/O error. The reason - my client's X: drive was a CD-ROM drive with no CD in it. For some reason Foxpro 2.6 always records the drive letter an APP was compiled on and sometimes tryies to create temporary files there.

Ibbsy,
Good catch, I always forget that one. Mark, go to

http://www.abri.com/foxpro.html

and get the free FixDive utility. This problem is actually caused by the FPW linker.
