Hello everyone,
I've tracked this down a little further. Using the SysInternals Process Monitor program, VFP is looking for the FOXUSER.DBF. In the process, it looks in the current folder, then every folder in the PATH. There bad path does not appear in the captured data.
Having a valid FOXUSER.DBF in the program folder prevents the error from happening.
This still occurs even though the compiled in config.fpw file contains the line: resource=off
I am now testing with 09.00.0000.7423
This wasn't a problem with an exe built using 09.00.0000.3504, until I modified the exes internal manifest.
Any thoughts?

Tracy If there is no foxuser.dbf in your Path VFP will create one. This behavior is since VFP5.0 Koen

True, it does not when the config.fpw has the resource=off in it. Which has also been in since VFP 5.

Koen,
When the FoxUser.dbf does not exist, and the config.fpw does not have a resource=off line in it, and the PATH environment variable is invalid, the error will occur. Invalid path of file name. Cancel Ignore Help
Press Cancel, the program will not run. Press Ignore, a C0000005 error will occur.
There are programs that install on users computer that corrupt the PATH environment variable. I educate the techs that support the software project I work on why this happens and how to fix it.
I brought it up here because I was hoping there might be someone that may have some insight and suggestions.

This only apply to a compiled EXE, and not the development environment, right?
I'm not sure what sort of suggestions would be helpful.
How about including a small FoxUser.DBF, embedded inside your executable. VFP *should* open it read only.
Or, of course, include a CONFIG.FPW with RESOURCE=OFF.

Ted,
Thank you. I just included the foxuser.dbf in the EXE. The EXE is in a folder without the foxuser.dbf, and I still get the same results with Cancel and Ignore.
Just for grins, I set the resource=on and recompiled. I get the same results even with the table included.
Then I set resource=foxuser.dbf and got --------------------------- Microsoft Visual FoxPro --------------------------- Visual FoxPro cannot start. Insufficient Memory. --------------------------- OK ---------------------------
Thank you for helping.
