Something has happened to my VFP configuration When I do a ?set("classlib" ) I get nothing When I try Set Classlib to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\Wizards" the system reports "file c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual foxpro9\wizards.vcx does not exist. This seems to indicate that the final backslash is ignored and the system is looking for a file called wizards.vcx rather than any .vcx files in the wizards folder. (The Wizards folder contains 4 folders and 16 .vcx files.)
I also noticed that the path setting is missing. I have not attempted to set that yet. I mention it because I wonder if it got clobbered at the same time.
Can someone give me a clue how to get my system functional without copying the .vcx files to each of my working folders? Any clue what I might have done to deserve this?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

SET CLASSLIB should be set to the name of a file, YourClass.VCX, not to a directory.
See: https://hackfox.github.io/section4/s4g618.html
You use SET PATH to specify where VFP should search for files you specify without a path. That would let you specify the classes in the Wizards folder without supplying the entire path. It seems you've lost your path setting. Figure out where that went and you should be in business.
