Dear all,

I've tried to install an .exe on a pc that runs Windows 7 with "right to left writing" keyboard support. I get the attached error.

From what I google, vbame.dll is the module that is providing "right to left writing" keyboard support. I googled somewhat further and I read about a "hotfix".

There is also a blog entry that left me even more confused about this issue :

The code that breaks is :

	* --------------------
	procedure Wait(cMsg,nTimeout)				&& ntimeout is in seconds
	*-- mg 02/02/99
	local c,i,o,l,ccrs,n,ccrs1,x,y,o1 
	If Parameters()= 0
		cMsg= this.cMsg
	Endif
	If Parameters()<2
		nTimeout=0
	endif
	this.cMsg= cMsg
	_vfp.statusbar= cMsg
	If nTimeout<>0
		c= Inkey(nTimeout)
		this.waitClear()
	endif

My hunch, given the context, is that it breaks in the inkey function. But "line 56" points to _vfp.statusbar = cMsg. Go figure.

Anybody out there had to implement that hotfix and/or can tell me if it's safe?

Thanks and kind regards,

Marc
