Re: VFP9 SP2 on SP1 runtimes?

Well, no plans for Vista yet.

Just figuring out if it's safe to play with the SP2 on my dev machine and
deploy the app without updating all the runtimes, but as it seams, I'd
better do the early tests virtually, and then prepare for deploying the
runtimes the same time as the app.

I have an app that uses a similar system. It seems to me that that will
have to be changed when you get users on Vista. At that point, you'll have
to reinstall everybody anyway, right?

Hi !

I'm considering installing the SP2.

I'm maintaining a Foxpro .EXE application that I don't want to break.
That application is used by approx. 50 users, which do have the newest
version of the .EXE upgraded locally, each time the load the app.

However, the VFP runtime support files and libraries reside locally at
their machines, and they will not get upgraded automatically.

So my question is.. if I compile in the SP2 IDE and deploy the new
version to the users, can they still run with the SP1 runtimes in place ?

Regards,
Palli
