Hi Mike,

a) THE VFPA thingy modifies the DEVELOPMENT version, and that one has to be on 
SP2.  

b) The file you downloaded from github (VFP9SP2RT) is the RUNTIME installer, 
and of course does not touch your dev-system.

c) therefor you need the SP2 for VFP9 development, so that you at least get 
version 7423. This is done by downloading https://github.com/VFPX/VFP9SP2Hotfix3

d) I once wrote all about that stuff in my blog at 
http://woody-prolib.blogspot.com/ that's a step-by-step guide to install VFP9 
on modern boxes.

Betreff: Re: So, about this VFPA thing...

So I got a new Win10 Pro laptop at the Corporate gig and installed VFP9 on it. 
It was NOT patched...so the version is Visual FoxPro
09.00.0000.2412 for Windows.

I downloaded the VFPA 32 bit from (a) below and when I go to run it, it fails 
with this error: https://www.screencast.com/t/XVR3hDpLXOB

I'm guessing that's because I've not patched the default installation to 
9.0.0.7423?

Wanted to ask while I search for the VFP9SP2HotFix 3 installer. (I had tried 
one from wOOdy I thought but got a resource error earlier today...will try 
again now since I've uninstalled and reinstalled.)

tia,
--Mike
