note - copy the folder contents cdrom\program files\microsoft visual foxpro 9 to c:\vfp - not the entire CD
I run VFP 9 on linux using Crossover Office. Install Crossover standard (The pro version has odbc issues). Install a win98 bottle (VFP will not install in a win2000 bottle - these are beta), install fonts, ie6, win installer, dot.net, etc. Download & install mdac 2.8. Copy the VFP CD to c:\vfp. Download & install soaptoolkit using the .exe (the included .msi files will not install). Go to ftp://ftp.prolib.de/public and download the proper vfp runtime installer & install the runtimes. Now create a desktop icon launcher with the command ***|/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine --cx-app vfp9.exe (if you used a .rpm or .deb)|*** If you used a Loki installer, use ***|/home/yourhomedirectory/cxoffice/bin/wine --cx-app vfp9.exe|*** VFP should start & run - you can even use the help system without modification. No need for vmware.
