For Testing I've just installed the VFP8 Beta on a Win98-Machine

The installation went through without problems, but I could not start it.

An error "cannot find GDIPLUS.DLL" appeared and VFP never started.

I located the GDIPLUS.DLL in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP
(witch is C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Microsoft Shared\VFP in Germany) where
all the VFP-related stuff is stored and normally found without problems.

So I simply moved (actually) copied it to C:\Windows\System\

and VFP started without arguing.

Thought this could be interesting to someone.
