The _browser variable is a VFP variable pointing to the Class Browser. If you are using VFP Advanced, the Windows file virtualization is turned off. By default this will attempt to access and write a file in the Program Files directory. This will only work if you are running VFP in administrative mode.

If you are using VFP 9 SP 2, the browser.dbf will be virtualized and all should still work.

Knowing nothing about CABuilder:

I would just trace variables _browser and lcClassList in the source codes and hopefully something could be found .... it looked like it's trying to bring up the web browser? Or was _browser a form? Well.... :)

If the builder is running the Class Browser and it is prompting you to input the install disk, there likely is a problem with the treeview control and it not being installed or registered properly on the computer. I believe VFP Advanced 64-bit is also a problem since it cannot use the 32-bit ActiveX controls, like the standard treeview.

You can also make sure everything is registered properly with VFP 9:

Vfp9.exe /regserver

IIRC _browser is a VFP system variable which points to the class browser.

?(_browser)

On my system that resolves to c:\vfp9\browser.app.

Hi

I posted before about the CABuilder tool asking for the original disk then failing to find anything.

I traced the code and found the last line "Do (_browser) with (lcClassList)" was causing the error and commenting this line allowed the code to complete correctly. I have no idea what dependencies this needs and why it would fail.

I hope this helps someone.

Graham
