Cannot locate the microsoft Visual Foxpro Support LIbrary

[foxsu]

Hi all.
Can you help me in this issue.
I have Visual foxpro 5.0 have developed
an applications,compiled and created an EXE file
and works fine.
However when I move the "exe"(just the exe) file to another machine,sent me the next message "Cannot locate the microsoft Visual Foxpro Support LIbrary"

What is that?

What is needed to do and exactly what files need the app to run?

I supposed that when the app is created , all the needed libraries are included in the exe.


Thanks

FoxSU, you need to make installation setup kit.

In Windows OS, applications use so-called run-time support libraries, and that's exactly what's missing on your other machine. When you run installation setup, these libraries are being installed and registered by OS, so when your program calls some function in this libraries OS knows where to look for them.

There should be Setup builder in VFP 5.0.

At the bar menu on your VFP screen, select Tools/Wizards/Setup, and follow instructions.

Reading corresponding article ("Distribution of your program", or something) also won't hurt.

HTH.

The other files you need to copy to the other machine are:
VFP5.DLL and VFP5ENU.DLL. Depending on the operating system, copy to WINDOWS\SYSTEM or WINNT\SYSTEM32.

Actually, Mike, Wizard should pick 'em up on its own. Dullard as this Wizard is (yes, pun intended ) it's never failed to include VFP runtimes into setup kit.
