how do i setup the run time environment of microsoft visual fox pro on windows 7?


how do i setup the run time environment of microsoft visual fox pro on windows 7 ? I tried a lot after google the problem but still facing the same problem that is "Cannot find the runtime library of mirosoft visual foxpro". Edit: I am trying to install a standalone software that is made in foxpro in my laptop. And i never use foxpro so i don't know about it's runtime library or it's environment. So How do i setup it ? So that i can use that software. It is always showing me "Cannot find the runtime library of mirosoft visual foxpro"


Solution

  • It is very simple. Generally just having the 3 dlls in the same folder where your exe is sufficient (VFP9t.dll, VFP9r.dll and VFP9ENU.dll). These files are normally located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP" folder (and VFP9ENU.dll is the English resource file, there are others).

    Or you might go to Christof's site to download: VFP runtime files
