Re: Do prompt when starting EXE

I have an VFP 9 EXE that runs fine on mapped drive on the network from the main folder. They made a copy of the folder and a new mapped drive to the new folder but when we try to start the EXE we get a DO prompt. We can select the EXE at this point and the program will start. Very weird.

Has anyone had this problem and know of a solution ?

Usually this is either a corrupted EXE or an EXE that is partially blocked by a virus scanner.

A common issue with virus scanner is that the exclusion list only has the mapped drive path, but the EXE is launched from an UNC path (or vice versa).

Mixing mapped drives and UNC paths can also lead to different App_Compat flags in the registry that cause different behavior.
