Hello,

We have installed VFP 8.0 on an older OS (Windows 98).
When starting VFP 8.0 it gave the error "gdiplus.dll not found". We had to download the gdiplus files from Microsoft's website, and after copying the file gdiplus.dll to the VFP directory (as directed) VFP worked.

The download location is http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=BFC0B436-9015-43E2-81A3-54938B6F4614

On the package it says, "Runs on Windows 2000 later". Are there any other issues in connection with older OS, especially in regard of distribution of VFP applications? What about run time applications compiled with VFP 8.0? Do our clients need Windows 2000 or higher, or can they run our apps in Windows 98 or Millenium without problems?

Thanks for your input in advance!
