Trouble installing VFP6 on Win8
Environment versions
Network:
Windows 2008 Server
I need to work on a VFP6 app and I have to install VFP6 on my Win8 laptop.
I have the Visual Studio 6 CDs. I go through the installation and everything completes installing. However, after the progress bar completes and goes away, the green installation screen displays a message like "Configuring your setup" or "completing setup". But this screen never goes away. It just hangs until I "Close Program" it.
But when I start VFP6, it opens but the Command window never displays. I do see the white VFP6 desktop, but it doesn't respond and I have to Close Program.
I tried copying the VFP6 files from the CD to the drive, but the same thing happens when I try to run VFP6, it doesn't respond and I have to Close Program.
I'm able to run VFP9 on this Win8 PC just fine. But I can't get VFP6 to install or run.
Is there a solution?
