Hello everyone,
I have been getting a steady one or two calls a month for a year about our
VFP 9 program not starting and getting the following dialog:
----------------------------------------
Program Error
----------------------------------------
Invalid path or file name.
----------------------------------------
Cancel Ignore Help
----------------------------------------
I have placed in the CONFIG.FPW the following
COVERAGE=STARTUPCOVERAGE.TXT
When I start the program with an invalid PATH environment variable, the
coverage file is created. However it is 0 bytes.
I created a test project.
It contains a MAIN.PRG
ON SHUTDOWN clear events
READ EVENTS
ON SHUTDOWN
It also contains a CONFIG.FPW
title=Bad Path Testing
resource=off
When this project starts without the bad PATH environment variable it opens
and closes without problems.
I start a CMD prompt and run the following line to break the PATH
environment variable
PATH=%PATH%:c:\windows
(yes, the : separating the path instead of a semicolon is a common problem
I've been seeing)
Start the EXE from this now corrupted environment CMD window and the error
will happen.
This wasn't a problem with VFP 9.00.0000.3504
I do update the manifest in my VFP 9.00.0000.3504, which does start causing
the problem.
Does anyone have some thoughts or ideas as to what might be the problem?
Thank you,
Tracy
