We got the Windows7 beta to see how our software works with it. We don't see much difference from Vista. Same old crap. Where are all the renamed and moved programs? If you have a lot of time to waste you can spend a few days of frustration trying to find them. Then when you find them, you find that there are enough changes so they don't work properly. M$ must be starving the monkey that does the quality assurance. M$ is doing everything possible to push everyone to Linux. Too bad that the 'masses' still can't use Linux. If they could, it would be a winner now.
We still have over 1000 users with our FPD26A software and it works fine when you do all the crap you have to do to Vista. Our VFP9 SP1 version works on Win7 with no special changes. We have a newly designed innosetup installer and it is great. Finally we are able to install without dealing with the UAC, admin privileges to 'register' ocx and dll files. (what fool at M$ dreamed up the registry, registering crap, etc) That innosetup installer is great. We still have trouble with the 'Tasks' and 'Icons'. For some reason we can't get a shortcut on the desktop. You can get a lot of shortcuts under the Start button. We have a VFP9 SP1 program that creates shortcuts wherever we want, instantly so we put a reference to it in the [RUN] section of innosetup. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/00d801c9896e$0b5a3980$8600a...@w2k3s02 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
