>>Hello, as I have just installed vfp9 with vfp9sp2 on windows 10 it is installed without problems but the task panel throws me this error 0: Class definition MSXML2.DOMDOCUMENT.4.0 is not found., Then when I install msxml4 vfp9 it stays searching, no I get the error but it stays like I'm on an infinite cycle

Actually I do use the taskpane a lot - the environment manager, as a cute way to organize my projects (each with its own path, _vfp.caption, foxuser etc). Disabling the "check the internets for news about Fox" in several places is a real PITA but I do it every time I reinstall everything.
