Chris -
there is some difference between 'searching for those files'
and
'the files residing in the system32' directories.
I've tracked a whole mess of network traffic over the years on Novell
and Samba shares -
VFP goes nuts [really] on 'looking' for things, unless
there is a 'nice' directory structure and pathing statement
that VFP will 'like' .
'LIKE' - in this concept - means to me that VFP DOES NOT TRAVERSE any paths
that are available at run time in the OS.
just as a quasi-swag - if you added [yak] some DOS level statement on the
search path to include your VFPAppDir FIRST - does it make any difference ?
on other 'directory' grounds...
the VFP team [at least from Mike Stewart] had claimed that at least for LOGO CERTIFICATION there needed to be [from memory, off the top o me heid]
1. base set of stuff location at 'common' [runtimes, any extra active-x]
2. nothing touches the system32 dir
3. dirspace looks like %root\%companyName\%appname
-then you can put what ever you want for the appspace underneath this hierarchy .
I had thought it'd be mondo cool for 40 to 50 apps each quarter this year to be sent in to the testing center for Logo Certification - and I still feel this way.
IS THERE ANY WAY you can 'make' a clean machine, with a clean install of the OS, and a clean install of APPVerifier, and a clean install of your application, and go forth from there ?
NO SDK's, NO IDE's, NO Debuggers ...
mondo regards [Bill]
