DIVIDE BY ZERO and INVALID OR MISSING EXE FILE

[wellster34]

Hi,

I have a MS-DOS script that performs a START command to execute FoxPro for Windows on a NT Server. It failed the first time due to a DIVIDE BY ZERO problem so we applied a Patch called patch26.exe and followed the situation 1 in the readme.txt

Now, when we try running it, we get a INVALID OR MISSING EXE FILE error message. Any Suggestions as we feel lost??? Do we have to re-install? Is there another patch? Please help if you can!!!

Thanks for your time!

HI
After applying the patches, you have to copy the untime library files to the server location. Also, has the exe been recompiled to have these effects. When you recompiled the files, have you recompiled all the components (using this option in the project builder).

These shall take care of the situaton. If this is not giving you the results, there is one zdpatch (or dzpatch it is called) available (search the form with this as key word). You can download and apply and check if that helps. Personaly, I applied this one rather than patch26. I am not sure if these are different.

Hope this helps you ramani :-9

I used patch26.exe and had no problem. Certainly, you have to take care of the following:

1. Apply the patch to foxprow.exe and foxw2600.esl for the proper functioning of the developing enviroment.

2. Copy the patched foxw2600.esl to any location where you have a standalone exe working.

Let us know if this helped!
