>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.
