Bata Version Expired

[manpaul]

I have a project where I have compiled the exe with a valid version of 9 and I am getting beta version has expired. Need a quick answer as the user is down now.

I'd guess that the user is probably using Beta runtimes, even though the EXE was created with a valid version. if the runtimes came from an installshield/windows installer MSM, are you sure you are including the "real" MSM in your Setups?

Perhaps the user needs to uninstall, delete the VFP runtimes (see:

http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~VFP9RuntimeFiles

) and reinstall using your latest build (being sure that build does not use a beta MSM)

Paul,

Are you seeing this problem on your development machine, or on the user's system?

Microsoft states somewhere (can't remember where) that you should completely uninstall the the beta before you install the full product. If the problem is on your development system, that is the answer.

If it's on the user's system, I guess you'd need to uninstall the runtime files from the beta (use REGSVR32.EXE with the /U switch to unregister them, and then delete the files). Then, re-install your app.

Mike

Thanks to every one.

I had followed all the procedures of uninstalling the beta,
I had posted a tread earlier ask if I have to redistribute the dll, and the answer that bI got back was no, so i did not, I just compiled the exe and sent the user the new exe.

I have redistributed the required runtime dll's and everytime is now fine.

Many thanks again for the quick responese to my problem

Paul
