Hi Dmitry,

Is it 64 bit Windows? If so, you could be in for some complications. As I understand it, 64 bit applications won't talk to the 32 bit driver. However, 32 bit applications running on 64 bit Windows can work. You can google it and find some additional discussion.

In the past I have installed VFP 9 Ole Db driver on Windows 2003 many times and never had a problem.

Now when I installed it on Windows 2008 I have a problem. When I run a test ASP.NET page that attempts to open a VFP database (test one that I always use), I get error message:

InvalidOperationException: The 'VFPOLEDB.1' provider is not registered on the local machine.

This type of message in the past meant that the drive was not installed. But when I go to the Programs and Features window in Windows 2008 I see that VFP Ole DB driver is listed there.

Is there an extra step that I need to do on Windows 2008 when installing Ole Db Driver?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
