"cannot locate the desired version of foxpro"

[dannyts]

i have 8 windows XP & UNIX server with a program/database on it. the clients have a mapped network drive to the server and the a shortcut on there desktop that runs a batch file. the batch file opens MS-DOS and runs a .exe from the server which then brings up a log-in box for the program. this is where the problem is on 2 new computer, it runs the .exe then the next line is
"cannot locate the desired version of foxpro"
then dos close & returns to the desktop.

does anyone have any ideas ?

You does not have configured XMS memory. In _DEFAULT.PIF you can set it. About 4MB is enough.

cannot locate the desired version of foxpro"
means that the runtime files cannot be found.

Perhaps they aren't on the new computers yet?

The needed file is foxdx260.esl

thanks for the help guy

CHASE went bust !

i have found "foxdx250.esl" on the unix system, how do i install this ?

 

[rob444]

You must have the file in the directory where the foxpro exe programs are or in the path.

foxdx250.esl is for foxpro version 2.5, foxdx260.esl is for foxpro 2.6, so which file you need depends on the foxpro version that compiled the prg's into exe programs.
