An EXE built under VFP9 will use VFP9 runtimes because it's harcoded into EXE. VFP applications are not supported and don't run under WinNT w/o a patch. See http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~VFPSupportedOS.

>I am trying a manual installation on a NT machine which has a VFP7 installation.
>I installed the RunTime files in System32 and registered them.

>Installed a VFP9 executable and ran it, but it seems that the execuatble was picking the VFP7 Runtimes. ???

>By the way, an interesting note - when you pick a VFP7 remote view with VFP9, it adds parentheses and priorities to the Filter & Join expressions.
>However, sometimes it will mess up the priorities and the view will fail as a result.
