Friends,

I am using VFP6 and Access using ODBC. I have installed my program using
setup (compiled in XP) at customer place in XP (PC) and Win2000 pro
(Laptop).. XP is perfectly OK. Win2000 says VFP support files are missing. I
manually checked in system32 for all files likes VFP*.*. Both PC and laptop
has same files.

Any idea why this?
any help would be much appreciated

Wilson,
If you were having this problem with VFP 8 or 9, I'd guess it was the GDI+ support, the VC RT DLL or even making sure you were on at least SP 3 for W2K. However for VFP 6.0 (SP5?), these shouldn't be a problem. When you install the VFP 6.0 app, is the W2K user signed in at least as local administrator? This is critical, so that anyone using a VFP 6.0 app can see the runtime files.

Including VFPODBC.DLL? And the ODBC setup and DSN files?
