According to this source, http://vvet.narod.ru/foxpro/_foxy7.html#target168,
"... this message occurs when WLINK8.EXE could not be found via current dir or the path."

>Hi:

>We have a DOS application written in Foxpro 2.5 which has been reliable and stable for years. Over the course of those years it has been modified and recompiled into an executable file literally dozens and dozens of times. Now, suddenly when I attempt to compile an EXE, I get the message "Link comand failed" right as the progress graph completes building the application. On the screen the the message "bad command or file name" appears. This happens with I attempt to build the executable as "Stand-alone extended"

>I get no other error messages when build the executable during the compile process. To make matters even more maddening, this is happening on multiple machines .. same exact error.
