VFP 8 as an OLE server

Roy Chastain

2005-04-25, 1:24 pm

I have created a small amount of VFP code that is built as an OLE server. I can reference and use the code on a system that has
full version of VFP 8 installed, but it fails on a system that does not have VFP installed. I am assuming it is lack of runtime
code (the error is very generic). I have installed Vfp8r.dll Vfp8renu.dll on the failing systems. What else might I need to run
the OLE server.

Thanks

if your DLL is a MTDLL, then you need vfp8t.dll. Also, you have to install
gdiplus.dll and msvcr70.dll. Here's a full list:

Are you using an installer package to create a setup for your application? A
special version of InstallShield can be installed from the VFP8 cd rom.

Thanks for the response.
I assume by MTDLL you mean a Multi-Thread DLL. I built a single thread calling program. (Happens to be in .NET Framework.) The
OLE server (.dll) is built by VFP and is marked single instance.

As for a GDIPlus, the systems are Win XP SP2 so I would assume that have a correct usable GDI Plus (and besides, there is not user
interface in the VFP portion of the project). The systems already have a MSVCR70.dll from 3/18/2002.

We wrote our own install using full product version of InstallShield

I choose the 2 dlls because they are the ones that are present in our network directory where our full VFP application (an
application with a user interface etc) runs from. The application is built as an .exe
