Re: VFP 8 & VFP 9 Runtimes

I do have all of these...well, I don't have FPD 2.0 or 2.5, or FPW 2.5 (they
made an FPW 2.5? It must be the only version of FoxPro I've never used), but
I do have the rest. Why? Because I've developed apps in them in the past,
and from time to time I need to try something in an older version of VFP to
determine if I'm observing legacy behavior, or for a wide variety of
reasons. I'm still supporting FPD and VFP6, 7, and 9 apps. Fortunately, I
don't have any more FPW stuff hanging over my head.

In theory you could have VFP 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 all installed and usable
at the same time. For that matter you could also have FPD 2.0, 2.5, 2.6,
FPW 2.5 and 2.6 installed at the same time as well. I'm not sure why you
would want to have all of those installed at the same time, but in theory
you could do it.

Is there any problems with having both the VFP 8 runtime and the VFP 9
runtime installed or do I need to remove the VFP 8 runtime before
installing the VFP 9 runtime.

If both can remain, can I still run both VFP 8 and VFP 9 compiled
executables (.exe) files?

I would appreciate any advice you might offer.

Fox will automagically select the correct runtime - many developers run
multiple versions simultaneously.
