Happy Friday everyone! Does anybody happen to have notes they'd be willing to share on setting up a new machine with Visual Foxpro 9, Thor, and maybe other must-haves for you? I recently set up a new laptop, and I am getting an odd error from Thor. It got me to thinking I might not do things in the right or maybe I've missed a step that the pros do. I don't think I've seen anyone else's install/setup routine since I set up a gofoxgo.prg at startup from something I read in a Whil Hentzen book. I am pretty sure that was VFP6, so it was a while back. Bonus points if your setup notes address having to keep multiple versions of Foxpro around or a west wind dev setup. Maybe Foxpro installation on a clean machine would be a good Southwest Fox session ?!?
For VFP9 on Windows 11 I pretty much just install it with all options ticked from the .ISO image, into the default location, then install all the service packs that are on VFPX. If I had to have an earlier version around I'd probably run that in a VM.
Regarding Thor if I remember I just followed the instructions - what error are you getting ?
This is the error I get trying to run superbrowse. Another problem is some of the Thor apps like superbrowse don't show up on my menu until I run the thor updater, then the are all there. Screenshot of error attached.

Jeff - you can't attach screenshots in this forum - it simply won't work. Some folks use something like a website to post an image to - then post the Link to the image here.
