VFP8 exe issues

[FBM357]

Greetings,

I've an exe that I'm preparing for distribution. I'm using InstallShield Express for the first time. Simple enough as I had it working (except the shortcut creation on the desktop), however I've since made changes to my application (nothing too major) and now the app isn't properly working. I don't know what's happening with my app. When I run VFP, open project and run, everything is fine. Once I create the exe only part of the program executes. The form I created doesn't load and subsequently quickly quits. Why isn't the executable properly working? What can be the cause?

NT 4.0 SP3, VFP8 SP1

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank,

Vernon

Don't question where I'm going when you don't know where I've been, know what I mean?

Hi Vernon,

When you Build did you check Recompile All Files?

Is it the compiled exe that isn't working or the distributed exe (via ISE)?

Mike,

thanks for the quick reply. It's the distributed exe. I always check the 'Recompile All files' when building. Strange thing is I run an FTP command successfully but the app quits thereafter. When in VFP, the program runs fine.

*still scratching my head*

HI

Have you got it running as an exe and not from VFP development environment. If not, then look into READ EVENTS and clear events statements carefully. That can be the culprit.

Hi Vernon,

Rouge CLEAR EVENTS in added forms?

What added functionality did you add to the app? Perhaps you need additional merge modules in ISE.
