Hi Marc:
The first thing I would do is check the validity of the PATH environment
variable. See this article:
163801 PRB: "Error Locating Config File-Bad Path?" in Visual FoxPro
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=163801
If that does not help, I would download Filemon from www.sysinternals.com
and perform a trace after trying to start the exe. The Filemon should show
you the file that it cannot find.
Thanks
I hope this helps.
