Odd build error when trying to create automation COM component; references drive/folder I don't have in Project Info/Servers tab
Win7Pro 64-bit/VFP9SP2, building WestWind WebConnection Server file. Demo: https://www.screencast.com/t/Hz1rMjyo
Building this EXE but it fails with error. Well, it still produces an EXE but it's like 10 KB (instead of its normal 5 MB) and of course doesn't work. The build complains of 3 missing XFRX graphics files but that's definitely not it. Seems to fail when it goes to register the Type Library and COM component. Typically, these reside in C:\AppFolder on the Testing/Production servers but I'm building them in E:\MyDev\MyClient\YadaYadaYada folder because that's where I took the source from the GitHub repository to edit and build it.
I'm in Admin account, started VFP as Admin, so shouldn't be permissions issue.
**Found this clue and I'm certain this is the problem: https://www.screencast.com/t/Y10rsIjO . For some reason, this says D:\WSAPPS.... and I don't have that folder. My fellow developer uses that tree structure with his dev machine but I don't. My D: drive is my CD drive. I develop on my E: drive.
How do I get that value changed? I searched my source, including WCONNECT.h but no obvious things stand out.

Did you try building with the recompile all option? Some rogue folder reference in a .h file? Pack the project? I know you said you searched but what tool did you use? Did you try searching the project using GoFish for that weird path? What is that class shown in your screencap and where does it come from?

Mike,
It looks to be stored in the project table. Reserved2. But it appears there is also other information there that may make editing that memo a challenge. Though, you can probably change the pj2 file created by FoxBin2Prg, then put it back to get the edit in place.
HTH, Tracy
