foxpro 6.0 app has error 1426 running on Windows XP 1

[kimsue]

I developed an application in Visual 6.0 (a while back-with some difficulty) that prints graphs. I used the setup wizard to create the files I copy to the CD-ROM. I included Microsoft Graph 8.0 Runtime when running the setup wizard. Since that time, I have not worked in Visual Foxpro (reverted back to 2.6). When I load the Visual 6.0 application on my new computer with Windows XP, I get the error described below. The program works fine on my Windows 98 machine. Any ideas? I will be converting the Visual 6.0 application to Visual 7.0 (if I can ever get a handle on it). Thank you in advance.

The error occurs on this line:

APPEND GENERAL graph CLASS "msgraph.chart"

This is the error log:

You may need to upgrade your VFP 6.0 - you appear to be running SP 3, and the last one was SP 5.

Thank you. I will download that later tonight. In the meantime, I get back to the ORIGINAL question (which I didn't ask). What changes do I need to make in Foxpro 7.0 to accomplish this same graph? That was my original problem. I installed the 6.0 version to see if that worked (didn't). I was only trying to recompile the 6.0 project in 7.0. I'm just getting into it. Thank you once again. The error log from 7.0 is:

More information...

The graph was created by the graph wizard. When I try to use the Graph Wizard in Visual 7.0, I get a message saying "Microsoft Graph appears to be installed incorrectly-The latest version of Graph is available from Microsoft Office". I do not have Microsoft Office installed on the XP machine. I did install Visual Foxpro 6.0 and Foxpro 2.6 (problem??). Is Microsoft Graph available in Foxpro 7.0? I have graph8.exe and graph.exe (assuming from 2.6). What program is the Visual 7.0 graphing wizard looking for and where can I find it??? Thank you in advance.

OK, no solutions, but did you load up the Samples code from the MSDN CD? If you did, try:
DO (_samples+"\solution\solution&quot
Then go to ActiveX -> Automation -> Manipulate display characteristics of a graph.
This uses MSGRAPH.CHART, see if this runs. It does on my XP Pro system, under both VFP 6.0 SP5 and VFP 7.0 SP1. The registry shows I have both .5 and .8 installed, with .8 being current. However, I do have Office XP (v10) installed and the registry shows that the "server" for MSGRAPH.CHART.8 is C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT\Office10\GRAPH.EXE.

So it may be that the MSGRAPH "runtime" is not compatible with XP.

I also found

The sample automation DOES NOT run on my machine. I will post an answer if I find one. Thanks.

I installed Office 97 (don't have the newest version) and the graphs now work (as do the samples in sample.app). I still need to make sure the graphs will work on a customer's machine if they do not have Office installed. The Visual Foxpro version of MS Graph runtime installed by the SETUP Wizard does not appear to work on XP.??? If anyone has an answer here, I'd appreciate it; otherwise, I'll post an answer if/when I have one. Thanks.
