We have our application in VFP8 and compiled as an exe. We use a launcher program to start the main program after checking for updates on the server. The problem is the launcher is a compiled vfp7 exe. So, when it launches the main program, is still running in vfp7 which causes a problem on my reports where I tried to use the new _pagetotal/totalpages. So I need to figure out how to automaticly update the launcher programer on the remote sites.
1. I've compiled the launcher in 8 (syslaunch.exe) and named it put a copy called syslaunch2.exe in the udpate directory.
2. Modified the main program to check to see if there is a syslaunch2.exe if so, copy file syslaunch2.exe to syslaunch.exe. This of course didn't work since syslaunch was still in use.
Anybody have an idea how I can do this?
Thanks
