I am looking at the vfp compiler and I am following the suggestions on the wiki by Hank Fay. I am also looking at the help file, but the SharpDeveloper in help doesn't look like the version I installed and it is rather difficult to follow the directions.

Anyway, I tried to run vfpcompiler against a foxpro .prg. It is the main.prg of my app. I wanted to see what it would do. It created an .exe but when I run the exe the VS2005 debugger launches with the following error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in Unknown Module.

Addition information: could not load file or assembly 'vfp.runtime, Version = 1.0.2703.19779, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Why can it not find the vfp runtimes? Or is that error misleading? The vfp runtime files are in the standard location and vfp and all of the apps I create can find it fine... Is there anyway to see in output the errors other than trapping the errors in the debugger? Sometimes there is code in the .exe that is generated and sometimes there is nothing.
