Author Move VFP application to WinXP
BEN

2005-04-07, 8:05 pm

Hi,

I am a support engineer. My client has to reinstall an old VFP application
program from win98 to winXP. But my client lose the setup disks but has VFP
development setup disks from MS. Can any expert here tell me how I can move
the VFP application program to WinXP? And any issues should be considered
when I move the program from win98 to winXP?

I don't know which version of VFP is used to develop this application.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Setups for a custom application.exe based on FoxPro requires a
runtime setup (similar to VB). The runtime files are different fo each
version. Rick Bean posted some file header flags below.

OTOH, each particular app may need additional files, like OCX
files/registration or additional libraries like foxtools.fll or custom.FLL/DLLs

Hex Offset Data Version
00D1 foxw FPW 2.5
0111 foxw FPW 2.6
?? VisualFoxProRuntime.3 VFP 3.0
3228 VisualFoxProRuntime.5 VFP 5.0
1418 VisualFoxProRuntime.6 VFP 6.0
162C VisualFoxProRuntime.7 VFP 7.0
1638 VisualFoxProRuntime.8 VFP 8.0

Stepan and Ben,
Actually I posted a little program at =
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll? Wiki~I...> ersionFromEXE that makes =
it easier to check the version. Note that it only works on .EXEs - not =
..APPs or .FXPs.

Thanks Stefan and Rick. I will try to use the tool to find out the version
of VFP and related OCX or DLL files in client's PC.
