Does VFP 9.0 Work Well For Windows 7?

今天在MSN上看到了有人提问Does VFP 9.0 Work Well For Windows 7?

看到了Microsoft Visual FoxPro Technology Advisor 的回答，现将他的回答摘录如下：

There are two gotchas when _installing_ the development system, but those are mainly shortcomings from the installer itself: You cannot visually create a new directory when asked for the location to install (just type the new path in, or create it before in Explorer).

And on a clean Win7 there's no MSXML2 installed, which VFP uses for the TaskPane.  Solution: Just run the VFP9 Runtime-Installer from ftp.prolib.de/public/ before or after installing VFP9 itself, and you get all the missing parts.

 

 

After the first installation of VFP9 you need to immediately install SP2 from

and then the latest hotfix from

http://code.msdn.microso ft.com/KB968409

 

as well as several other components from http://VFPX.codeplex.com :</FO NT>

the fixed Helpfile, the FoxPro Foundation Classes, the SCCTextX file, the xSource files (which incorporate some faster Report-Apps) and all the other fancy stuff there.

And, just to get the message through: A collegue of mine just got the official "Compatible with Windows 7" logo for his VFP9 app. Yes, a VFP9 application can get certified to be Win7 compatible. See http://www.microsoft..com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=27028822-b172-4cec-91a3-26b610a4da79 for more information on the requirements.
