Cannot Locate the Fox Pro Support library

I'm getting an error message "Cannot Locate the Microsoft
Visual FoxPro support library" when I run an exe that was
written in FoxPro.

How do I fix this problem ?

I assume you're not the developper of this program.
You need to install the VFP runtime libary. They usually are part of the
software's setup file. Check the CDROM and re-install the program. Or
contact the author and ask for the VFP runtime files.

Thanks for your help. My customer claims they have already
re-run the setup application for the app and are still
getting the error. Any other suggestions or can you tell
me what files make up the VFP runtime ? I want to have
them run a search.

It depends on the version of VFP that was used to compile the app. Here's a
list of files for VFP6.
INFO: Visual FoxPro 6.0 Required Run-Time Files
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=190869

Here's info on the VFP7 files:

And VFP8:

Good luck!

Hi Paul:

Along with have the correct files on the machine, you may need to look at
the versions of the support files. For example, it the executable was
compiled in VFP 6.0 SP5, the VFP6r.dll and VFP6reun.dll files would need a
version of 8961 (SP5).


I hope this helps.

Paul,
One other possibility that the others haven't touched on, is that =
especially under NT/2000/XP, it is important to do the install while =
under a (local) administrator level login. The runtime files are =
normally put in areas that may be restricted to "normal" users.
