Perhaps it might be a good idea to drop by a Office Depot or somewhere that has Windows 8 boxes so you can just see one live before you meet the client? I did this and played around with it before I purchased a copy of Windows 8.

>I will be at a new customer site tomorrow installing VFP 9 application on Windows 8 Prof. I don't have Windows 8 so I am looking for suggestions on how to proceed (since Windows 8, as far as I know, has a very different user interface). Usually I install my VPF 9 app as following:
>1. Copy from CD all application files to the root of the C: drive as C:\MyApp\, C:\MyApp\Data, and so on.
>2. Run SETUP.EXE (built with Installshield limited) that installs VFP 9 run-time
>3. Create desktop shortcut to the application executable (e.g. C:\MyApp\AppName.exe)

>Any suggestions on how to accomplish the above on Windows 8 Pro?
>TIA
