Microsoft Visual Fox Pro problems?

2006-08-15 17:25:33, Category: Programming & Design
I'm having problems running an *.exe that was built with Fox Pro. I'm using Windows XP (home edition). The program runs fine when using the run button from inside Fox Pro; however, after building the exe, when double clicking the helloWorld.exe icon, a window opens and closes and nothing happens. I'm having the same problem when using Fox Pro 9. Reinstalling didn't work. Any help appreciated.

    Try this. In your main form's activate event put "READ EVENTS" at Last this will work. when you want to quit application use "CLEAR EVENTS"

    You may not have the professional version. You may need some dlls that are in other directory. 1.Copy your exe in a new folder with a short name in C: 2. then copy vfprun*.dll into the dir. Try run it. 3. Try copy others dll in the folder of the VFP installation (try look at C:\programms files\microsoft\microsoft visual studio\vfp) Sending a hug. Martin

    sounds like you compiled it wrong, it might not run with windows xp.

    You have not set your program to READ EVENTS(). Sounds like you are running a form. Check your modal properties setup as well. Go to universal thread if you really get pissed.
