Hello Rafael. I don't know for sure if this will help your problem, but just recently, I was having the same error that said resources couldn't be loaded. I was trying to get my Executable running on a machine that didn't have Visual on it. I wanted to try to get it going without installing a single file on it, just to see what files Visual expects. I have an Installation system that I use to put all the required files in the user area, so using the wizard was not my first choice.

These are the files that I needed located with my executable to get this to work.

Foxtools.fll
Vfp500.dll
Vfp5enu.dll

I found out from a few people in the Universal Thread that I was missing the Vfp5enu.dll. I didn't see this anywhere in the Visual Foxpro documentation, and once I put that file in the directory with my executable, everything worked fine. You might want to try this.

I don't know if the Wizard installs this file, but it should. I do believe that it needs to be in the same directory as your executable, but I am not positive about that. Just in case the above doesn't work, I had a few people in UT recommend that I use the wizard, as I may run into more problems. But, for now everything has worked without it. I will probably install it later if need be.

Let me know if this works for you.
