Application libraries mismatch

[Felipe Alinzo]

Hi everybody, I really need 2 know what's going on with an app I recently
developed.

Everything looks to work fine I my computer, but there are problems when
I install it in other computers that are already running applications of
old FoxPro versions.

The setup process goes fine, but when I try 2 run the app a message box appears
just after the VFP enviroment telling me that there's a mismatch with the
version of the libraries. A BIGGEST problem comes when the old FoxPro apps
start to fail after the setup process of my app. Also, is strange seeing
my kit of setup diskettes become unusables after the above problem happens,
just initializing the copy of the files (for second time) a message saying
"Cannot uncompress file A:\setup1.cab"

Please, I need 2 know what to do

Thanx

Your problem is more than likely that you used the FOXTOOLS.FLL in both your
old apps and your new ones. For your VFP6 apps, you should either "build
in" FOXTOOLS.FLL into your .EXE, or put it in your application directory and
make sure that's where you try to load it from. You'll have find some place
to get the FOXTOOLS.FLL file from VFP5, because they removed some of the
functions in FOXTOOLS.FLL for VFP6 since they are now part of the native VFP
language.
