>I have a little VFP compiled exe that I wrote for some of my coworkers. Since all of these coworkers already have other VFP applications installed with the appropriate runtime, dll's, etc. I didn't bother to write an install routine for this one. I just copy it into a new Program Files folder and we are good to go. This has always worked fine. However today I gave it to a new person and when it starts it gives the message that the resource file is no good should I create a new one? Answer yes and it runs fine. However subsequent runs produce the message over again. This is a win7 box but I have it on other win7 boxes without a problem. Any ideas what's up?
>Thanks

We had the exact same problem. Quick solution is to remove FoxUser at all with RESOURCE = OFF in config.fpw
Better solution is to create FoxUser in the path the user has access read-write. So, you will need to explicitly specify the foxuser path in config.fpw

The reason you got the problem is that the user is not the member of local admin group and doesn't have write access to the start folder of the app.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
