>We have a user that is getting an 'Invalid Path or Filename' error when trying to run our executable. We have several users, and this is the only one that is having the problem. The error appears to be coming from FoxPro, but it is before the VFP desktop has been displayed, so it is before any of our code has run. The error dialog has Cancel, Ignore and Help buttons. Cancel will cancel the application and Ignore will cause a Dr. Watson error. We have a config.fpw, and the only path stated in it is TMPFILES. The directory specified there exists.

>The user has NT 4.0. The user has to get a System Administrator to install software, so his account doesn't have full Administrator rights. I don't know if this could have anything to do with it or not. I've been trying to reproduce his problem by restricting different rights to the application directory, the System32 directory, and the temp directory. I've also tried doing things like renaming the system-specified temp directory.

Jonathan did you ever get a response to this that fixed the problem or did you find a solution. The reason I am asking is that today I had to pay a visit to a user of my system that is having this same problem. Although it is not an NT they are using Win98. This is the first and only problem of any user using my system (I have the system installed on 50-60 machines from 95/98 to NT). If you did solve it let me know please as I have also been banging my head against a wall too. My config.fpw file is not called out in the shortcut via a -C option, I rely on VFP picking up the config.fpw in directory where the exe is run. That assumption has proven correct for all the installations.
