Getting error when trying to run an exe file created in earlier versin of fox (not sure which version it was). The error is "cannot locate FoxPro Support Library".

We've just moved all all files into a new application server and that's when we are getting the error. I am guessing that the runtime file which the error is referring to, but our network administrator said that all files have been copied over to the new app server.

Is it possible to create an exe, which includes the runtime file so therefore no runtime file is visible???

No change has been made to any client machines.

Thanks.
 
You need that file either in the default directory or the fie path. A FoxPro Windows app cannot be recompiled to include it, it remains separate but it is required for the app to run.

HI
Foxw2600.esl refers to FoxPro for windows ver 2.6. YOu need to copy the files FoxW2600.esl in the application directory of your server so that it can be used by all users under the network.
Note Fox*.ESl and Fox*.ESO files need to be copied so that, depending on available memory higher version or the lower version can be loaded by the application automatically.

Hope this helps you :) ramani :-9
