Pro 9 CD that I still have from circa 2. First, it prompted me to install some Prerequisites, which it did with no problems. Next I moved on to the main VFP install, and I took all the defaults, then the CD spun around for a bit, and finally, it gave me a nice message screen stating Setup is complete and There were no errors during setup. Looking good so far Next, I downloaded and installed Service Pack 2 for VFP 9, and once again, got this nice little affirming message box Finally, I installed the VFP 9 Hotfix 3 for SP2 i. We now have a promising Microsoft Visual Fox. Pro 9. 0 entry in the fancy new Windows 1. Start menu Yes, but does it actually runNow, I finally get to find out if we can run the fully patched Microsoft Visual Fox. Pro 9. 0 SP2 Version 0. Windows 1. 0. So, I launch it from the Start menu, and quickly go the Help About screen One small issue with Task PaneIf you launch VFP 9 it will initially show the the Task Pane, but you will get a small error in the view area of the Task Pane window. Dont worry, Ill show you how to fix this below. Class definition MSXML2. DOMDOCUMENT. 4. 0 is not found. The issue is that Task Pane requires MSXML 4. Core Services.

I selected about 1. VFPx tools from the Check For Updates form in Thor, and it nicely proceeded to download and install all the tools, and gave this confirming output for each one on the VFP desktop as it did its work I think were good folks Next, I ran a few of these tools, just to make sure theyd fire off, and they did. Im pretty certain at this point, that my business apps would work just fine here, if I took the time to finish out this developer setup. So, I havent done any real coding work in the IDE, and I probably wont any time soon, but from my basic tests in this experiment, it sure appears to me that our old friend Visual Fox. Pro is ready to continue its legacy of being an awesome development tool, even on Windows 1. Windows 2. 0 and Windows 3. Finally, heres a  peak at the whole IDE running in Windows 1.
