Database Forum / FoxPro / Setup / March 2005Roaming profiles and VFP 8.
OK here is a new one on me. I installed an app on a network workstation running W2K Pro. Used the local administrator account. Runs great under the local admin account. Installed it to be used by all users. Now here is the glitch...... NONE of the local users can use it :( It bombs out right away with the c5 error. They are using roaming profiles on the network. So is there a way I can adjust my app either in the .exe or in the InstallSHield installation to open this software up for all users without having to install it once for EVERY user.. There are 16 users nope wont work that way :) any ideas or workarounds are to be gratefully received :) and this is a time sensitive problem so a fast help would be greatly appreciated :) TIA Patrick Are any of the workstations XP? There's a problem with roaming profiles and use of XP and W2K workstations.  SignatureFred Microsoft Visual FoxPro MVP > OK here is a new one on me.

The app was installed there using the local admin. I found a reference that told me that it WAS the roaming profiles that causes this and if that is turned off the app will work. BUT I am not sure the is a possibility or even feasible there ;( One question. I read that VFP 9 addresses this problem and with those runtimes shouldn't have the problem. Should I upgrade to 9 and reinstall? and will that "fix" the problem? >Are any of the workstations XP?

Probably yes I think, see also http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;839024 hth -Stefan Signature|\_/| ------ ProLib - programmers liberty ----------------- (.. ) Our MVPs and MCPs make the Fox run.... - / See us at www.prolib.de or www.AFPages.de ----------------------------------------------------------- Hi Patrick: Yes, this was bug was fixed in VFP 9.0. However, you can still use VFP 8.0 if you use the solution in the article that Stefan mentioned. I hope this helps. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

VFP 9 fixed the C5 exception error when first starting the program. Everything runs good. IF and thats a big if there :) If 1. the data files are stored locally on the workstation. 2. all users never have logged into a WIN XP machine on the network. Now here is the next kicker. If I move the data files to a mapped drive, then set a global path in the app to find them. I get a problem with only one form that has the monthview control on it from common controls. When you first open that form, it starts the msi installer looking for something. This behavior is only after I have moved the data files to a mapped drive. Any ideas??? Also there seems to be some users who never have error and a small number who have little errrors and one user who just cant get it right <LOL>. ALl are running the same app from exactly the same dir with everything the same. Only thing different is thier profiles. SO is there anything else which will affect how VFP 9 runs on this enviorment?? Stilll need help <LOL> TIA Patrick >Hi Patrick: > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >>hth >>-Stefan Hi Patrick: I am glad that VFP 9.0 fixed the C0000005 error. I am not sure about the Monthview control problem. Is that control installed in the machine? If you allow the MSI installer program to run, what happens? I hope this helps.

Everyone else on the workstation involved have no problems when running the program. Its just one user. I let it try to install and it attempted to install a VERY OLD version of the software when it was in testing stages. That version was uninstalled a long while ago. Any ideas would be appriciated as I am gettting very fustrated with this. A microsoft network, a program compiled in a microsoft language, on a microsoft operating system, with a microsoft control and yet it doesnt work??????
