Question : error locating config file – bad path? in Foxpro application
error locating config file – bad path? in Foxpro application
All machines are running windows XP Pro… not sure which service pack.
The vendor claims that all the files needed are present, and as I said, the program does run on other XP boxes. I’m thinking that there is a runtime patch or something that is not on this machine. It runs Office 2000 if that is any help.
The only other difference I can see is that this machine is a Dell, and the rest are IBM net vista’s.
Thanks for your help.
If that is the case, the problem that I’ve seen in config files is that there are temp file, sort file, etc., locations established in that config.fpw file that don’t actually exist on the PC the program is installed on.
For example, here are some possible settings in a config.fpw file:
EDITWORK=C:WINDOWSTEMP
PROGWORK=C:WINDOWSTEMP
SORTWORK=C:WINDOWSTEMP
TMPFILES=C:WINDOWSTEMP
If C:WINDOWSTEMP doesn’t exist on the PC, you will have problems. I have no idea what your settings may look like in that config file. I’m just giving you an example.
