Did you try running your app as superman, I meant, Administrator?

Man,

Thanks for the reply. I like the "Superman" reference. Yes, admin
privileges in place. I tried registering vfp6r.dll with regsvr32.exe
successfully, but could not register vfprenu.dll, it returned an error. Also
tried registering the program exe with /regserver successfully, but
application would still not run.

Any more suggestions, pulling what's left of my hair out.

Joe

Man,

You helped me!!! I checked the security, and although there were admin
privileges. So I turned off the UAC (User Account Control), re-installed the
program, and it worked.

Thanks so much!

Joe
Another thing to make sure of with Vista is that you don't install under
the program files folder. If you do, my experience is that anything
other lower than VFP9 will require being run as administrator (even if
your logged on as admin you need to set the shortcut to run with admin
privileges or right click on it and select that option. If you just
move the install to somewhere directly off c: (create your own folder
off the root) then in my experience it should work even with user access
control, which you can't necessarily count on the user disabling.

Cy,

My applications do not install to the programs folder. We create out own
folder in the root of the c drive. Didn't seem to make a difference.

Thanks for the tip!
