Re: Cannot register vfp9r.dll in Win7/64

Thanks - there was a little note on this in the wiki page for VFP9 runtimes. It appears that moving msvcr71.dll to the {sys} directory (Even though M$ suggests otherwise) in my setup resolved the problem.

Hi Michael,

What is the error code?

I've not tried this on 64bit Win7 so I'm not sure if there are any problems.

You probably know this but its worth checking. . .

One quirk with this runtime is that it requires the MSVCR71.dll. This dll got demoted from being a system library and documentation states to put it in your application directory. Now I would do this but the result is the runtime will not register. You either need to put a copy of MSVCR71.dll in with teh vfp9r.dll or just have done with and shove it in the System32 (or 64 bit equiv) folder.

HTH

Regards

Richard

I'm trying to install an application on a client machine running the 64 bit Windows 7, but the machine refuses to register the vfp9r.dll file.
