Register Runtime Libraries??

[kate]

Hello,

I'm using VFP 6.0. I've created a web application using the Activedoc class. We have this application running from our webserver and users run the app by clicking on a link on our internal webpage.

The app runs fine on most machines. However, on some machines, when I try to run the app, it asks me if I want to save the app to my hard drive. I don't want to save it, I just want it to run like on the other machines.

I've associated the .app with the VFP6RUN.exe runtime object. But I get this error.

"Could not create the Visual FoxPro Runtime object. The Visual FoxPro Runtime Library may be missing or is not registered correctly. Error 0x80040154."

I know that the Runtime library is there. Do I just have to register it somehow, and if so, why did I not have to register it on some machines, but I do have to on others? How am I supposed to register the runtime libraries?

The app seems to run fine on WIN 2K, and sporadically on WIN 98 and XP. Users are running IE 6.0 SP2 to open the app.

Thanks for you help.

Kate,

You say you have tried associating the APP file with the run time libraries. That's not going to work. Associating a file extension in that way does not help with registering run time files.

Basically, you do need to register the run time on evey client system. The fact that you have got away without doing that suggests that some of your machines already had the run times (or VFP itself) properly installed.

To register the run times, you can either use REGSVR32 (or create a batch file or shortcut so that users can do that themselves) or use the VFP 6.0 setup wizard to create a SETUP.EXE that users can use to install the run time.

Here are some links to other people's VFP6 Runtime Setup files.

I have not tried to use them, but they "advertise" that they work for them.
