v10 with Vista

[victortonelli]

I'm getting a FoxPro error message when I try to launch PowerChurch.

The program and data are on an XP Pro machine. The Vista machine has a mapped drive to the PowerChurch directory. PowerChurch is launched by running the .exe directly from the XP machine.

The Vista machine does NOT have Powerchurch installed locally. PowerChurch runs just fine on all of the other computers. This is the first Vista machine I've tried it with.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Have you run the Netsetup10 program on the Vista workstation yet? Browse out across the mapped drive, find Netsetup10.exe and run it.

This will install and register all the DLLs and other system files locally that are needed to run PowerChurch Plus remotely. Also, it will place a proper shortcut on the Desktop.

Yes, that did the trick. Why in XP can I just create a shortcut to the .exe but in Vista I have to run netsetup?

There isn't any difference with any of the PowerChurch Plus versions 7 and higher, or with different Windows versions. The local files have to be installed and registered, or you will get the error you mentioned.

Maybe someone had installed PC+ on the XP workstation from the CD at one point?

That must be it. I'll test this idea the next time I bring in a "new" computer.........

Thanks -
