Here's an update in case anyone has any other ideas. I've tried copying msvcrt.dll (both one from syswow64 and system32, same results), msvcr70.dll, and msvcr71.dll into the application folder, and I am also running the commands below before I try to do source\appmain.prg. I verified I have codemine.fll in the project's root. However, I am still getting that same "The files codemine.fll and msvcrt.dll must be placed in the application directory or in your Windows system directory." error message. I'm somewhat at a loss. I am not entirely out of options; I can make changes, build the executable, and run it, but it would be much easier if I could run everything from Visual FoxPro. I don't know if it is pertinent, but I believe this application was running in a previous version of Visual FoxPro. I only had VFP6 and VFP9 on hand, so I used VFP9.

You'll probably find MSVCRT.DLL in c:\windows\syswow64, make sure that directory is on the VFP search path.

I added msvcp71.dll to the project's root folder, but no change. I am thinking maybe codemine.fll is an older build, and it's looking for a specific version of msvcrt.dll. I don't understand why it will build an exe that runs, but it won't run the source. The codemine folder has a subfolder called codemine50, so I assume it is version 5. I appreciate everybody's suggestions so far!

Thanks Woody! After reading your reply, I realized it had to be something else. I commented out the lines in appmain.prg that reset set library to, set path to, etc. So then I got a little further! Now I am seeing a message that says "Error at line 23 of setdevsearchpath Codemine Development Environment is not installed. You can only run standalone EXE files on this machine.". I am not sure if I am missing something in the path, I need to run some other CodeMine command, or I am really missing something in the source I was given. I may have addressed enough of the existing issues by making changes, recompiling, and running the exe, so that this is no longer as urgent. However, I am still curious enough to see if I can run it from source.

Hi Jeff,

I have found a Codemine version 6.1 in my ProLib Archives. Yes, it has a "common50" folder, files are seemingly from 2000-02-09 The Codemine.fll is dated from 1999-08-05 with 24576 Bytes

I can load that FLL in a VFP9 commandwindow just fine with SET LIBR TO. (running on Win11). The only dependency I know is the MSVCRT.DLL. Since VFP is 32Bit, that MSVCRT.DLL needs to be in SYSWOW64.

wOOdy

Thank you Christof! I never thought to check the web archive for the website! -Jeff

I think, CodeMine came with a setup program that you need to run on your machine. The company is out of business, but their website is still in the archives. This is what the Development Environment looks like:
