Could be Dave. I have 12 Machines running XP in one office and have no problems, YET. Let us know if you find the problem. This could pop up on anyone's machine.
Are you mapping a drive to the server?? That is what I do. I map a drive to the server folder and then put an icon on the client machine starting up the application directly through the mapping. Works for me but some frown on doing it this way.

All fox runtimes are available to the clients and the share has read/write
permissions, this only affects certain XP machines.I suspect it has
something to do with the way the machines have been installed.

Dave,
Try putting the DLL files in the same folder as your application.
gdiplus.dll, msvcr70.dll,vfp8r.dll,vfp8renu.dll
It may be your client machines can't find them or know where to look
for them.

We have a number of XP machines that will not allow us to run fox
executables situated on our server from them.
This we need to be able to do from our main application.

When we try we get the following error message:

'This application has failed to start because the application
configuration
is incorrect.Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.'

The users have administrator rights to the client machines.

If the executable is copied to the client machine it will run fine,
just not
from our server. This only affects some XP clients.

We are using vfp version 8

Has anyone else come accross this problem

Thanks in advance

Dave







It's actually considered a bad idea because you are adding additional unneeded network traffic. Optimal performance would be gotten by putting the executables on the local machine and the data on the server. You can use a loader EXE to copy the actual program to the workstation based on the date and time stamp of the files. To get to the data just put the data on the VFP path, this can be done by having a local table contain this data, or by having the path set in config.fpw for that.
