Does anyone know if VFP9 .EXEs can run on Windows Server 2016? I don't mean just access data on the server, actual run a runtime .EXE application on the server itself/
Thanks, Fred

Hi Fred, Why not just test it on your own? But to assure you: "Server 2016" is basically the same kernel as Win10, thus: yes VFP9 runs on 2016, as any other 32bit software does. There's nothing special with a VFP9 exe.

Hi wOOdy,
I don't currently have a Server 2016 setup, we're getting new servers in a couple of months and want to go with the latest. Someone told me server 2016 could not run 32 bit apps, only 64 bit, that's why I asked.

Hi, Fred:
It's worth asking. There's a lot of misinformation floating around out there.
As best as I can follow, there's a "Nano Server" option that's actually 64-bit only, with no WOW64 (the library that provides 32-bit support). Nano Server is an unusual minimal install case, though.
That said, 64-bit installs need a little bit more careful handling, as VFP only talks to 32-bit ODBC, Office apps, etc.
Maybe that's what he was talking about, the "Nano Server".
Thanks Ted.

That's a Win2016 x64 Standard (obviously in German) out of the box in a VmWare session.
Nothing more done than running the classic VFP9SP2RT.exe runtime installer (to get the xml stack and the msvcrt.dll), and then just copying the VFP9.exe (plus vfp9.dll) Viola! :)

The company that will be supplying our new servers said he could set me up with a test system for a few days to try it out if needed. Looks like I may go that route.
Thanks for the suggestion.

We have several FoxInCloud apps running like a charm on win Server 2016.
Without user interface however.
