Thanks, Dave. I appreciate the info. It's good to know it can run in a similar environment. With VFP's EOL looming it wouldn't surprise me if MS did something wonky to the 32 bit sandbox, not out of malice; just simple indifference.
As far as patches are concerned are their specific items you know of? I told this IT guy about disabling SMB 2/3, turning off OpLocks, write caching, etc but he was claiming that they had limited ability to mess with the registry. They've since recovered the 2008 server or deployed a similar system. Folder off the root using plain old SMB shares is our standard config. I never put anything in PF. In some cases I've found that a system is happier if I use the MS installer for the C++ runtimes but usually I just put our EXE and all the DLLs in the same folder. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Crozier Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2013 8:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: VFP9 & Windows Server 2012 We have apps VFP apps and services running on 2012 on a quad clustered SAN and have done for about 7 months now with no problems. Make sure that they are up to date patch wise. As per Windows 7, the O/s is picky about where you run your apps from permission wise. Best to put both data and VFP into a saparate folder off the root and then share it out accordingly. Dave -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Kaye Sent: 15 August 2013 13:22 Subject: VFP9 & Windows Server 2012 I've got a handful of clients who have recently attempted to roll out Windows Server 2012 and the experience has been, ummm, not optimal. The most recent one had a server failure (SBS 2008) so the IT folks decided to replace it with a clowd-based 2012 Server; restored from a supposedly good backup; and when I tried to run our EXE, immediate C5 errors in the VFP runtime DLL was the unfortunate result. I don't know if the any of the restored files might have been corrupted or if there was some configuration issue in the clowd server environment or... Anyone here had any experience yet with their VFP EXEs running under that OS, either on your own LAN or in the clowd?
