Thanks for the reply Ted. This behaviour has only started in win 10. I should have, by now, put everything in its own directory and not used the windows program files. What with that and appdata it's a big problem. Oh well we learn, eventually. I wish VFP9 worked on Linux (legally) Al

So, these two users are sharing the same machine?

I'd be inclined to have the second user install the app also, since Windows does weird things these days with folder redirections.

Hi guys One of my customers has an issue. First a user has my VFP9 program with the program in program files 86 and the runtimes in common files. All works fine. New user added and this user gets a problem with resource files not found. I assume these are the ones in common files plus the c++ dll. Anyone know why one user works and the other fails? TIA Al

And user permissions, file permissions and SELinux permissions, but at least they would not be intentionally hidden or underdocumented.

Then you could have bits of it in bin,usr, etc and so forth instead.

Very well documented on MSDN.

Al,

I think it could, and I doubt you'd get a legal challenge, but then again, IANAL and can't pay your legal bills. :-)

Man Wai, this is very interesting. Can you point me to some assistance how to install (say) Wine on an Android system (I suspect it will be a bit different from Windows?)

I thought Linux had died a slow death.....

Check out:

1. Wine

2. CrossOver

Worst-case scenario is to use virtualization.

Android runs on ARM processors. Windows runs on x86 (Intel/AMD) processors. This isn't likely an easy port. WINE Is Not an Emulator, which is what you need when you switch processor types.

No.
