Greeting All! I put together a VFP app previously compiled under VFP7, recast it into a more complex database structure using VFP9, and compiled as an .exe under VFP9. I had it all working great running as an .exe, and later installable on a raw machine (I use VPC to test all Windows OSes from Win98SE through Vista). It installed and ran great under all OS levels until I hit Vista. My previous apps (all VFP7 compiled and set up for installation under InstallShield v-11.x) ran fine under Vista, so I surmised I must have done something goofy in the VFP9 build.
Long story short... Even after upgrading to InstallShield 2008 (v-11 seems to work for Vista but does not list Vista as an OS option, but v-2008 specifies Vista as an OS choice) I was running into that problem. I found that the problem went away f I set the Shortcut used to fire up the app is set to "Normal" window size, but seems to fail when it is in "Maximized" window size. I see the title bar, but no app, so I would kill it via Task Manager. If I maximize the app window when it is running it behaves perfectly after maximizing. I can live with this, but I was wondering if anyone else has seen that happen. This was on a dual monitor machine, BTW, but nothing shows on either monitor when started in Maximized window mode.
