I upgraded to Windows 11. I have some programs that I am trying to run but get a message that it cannot locate the Microsoft Visual FoxPro support library. Is there a way to get these programs to run on Windows 11. I was previously running these programs using Windows 7.

Hi. Thank you for your question and reaching out. I’d be more than happy to help you with your query
Unfortunately, Microsoft Visual FoxPro support library is not compatible with Windows 11. Programs written using Visual FoxPro may require compatibility mode or an alternative solution to run on Windows 11.
If you have the source code of these programs, you can try recompiling them using a newer development environment that is compatible with Windows 11. If you do not have the source code, you may consider virtualizing a Windows 7 environment using a tool such as VirtualBox or VMware and run the programs in the virtualized environment.
Alternatively, you can also consider looking for alternative software that can perform the same functions as your existing programs.
It's also important to note that unsupported software can pose security risks to your computer, so it is recommended to take steps to protect your system, such as keeping your operating system and software up-to-date with the latest security patches.

This is a woefully inadequate and apparently wrong answer. Yet it's misleading text is the first result when I googled this. Not only does the answer not address the OP's issue, which is not having the support library in the right place, the 'answer' suggests 'recompiling with a newer development environment'?
Look elsewhere. It appears it works. Like previous versions of windows, there may be some tweaks that need to be done.
Who is Limitless Technology anyway? Seems like this was written by a bot or some low level person who doesn't know anything about Foxpro and is following the script to try to get people to buy new technologies, when it's not needed.

I have installed VFP9SP2 on Win 11 computers. I have never had an issue. We have many customers running our product on Win 11 computers.

Our application, pc/MRP is compiled with VFP 9. We have thousands of customers and pc/MRP has no problems running on Windows 10 or Windows 11.
Did you test the VFP Runtime Installers ?
Out application, pc/MRP is compiled with VFP 9. pc/MRP is used by thousands of companies and has no problem on W10 and W11 computers.

Windows 11 compatibility mode says it can't find file vfpres.dbf
It then refuses to load an app that works quite well on Windows 10.

Robert, did you get this solved?
Kent, you're getting bad info. VFP runs fine under Windows 11. Not sure what the problem is that you're having, but we'd need some more info, such as whether you know what version of VFP the programs were compiled under. Also, when you say you upgraded to Win11, what do you mean exactly? Did you upgrade in place or did you get a new computer and try to copy things over or what. The VFP runtime libraries may be missing. It does say it can't locate them. It's been over a year, so hopefully you've solved this.

Hi Mr. Campbell. I have a small software company that I took over from my father, the language is VFP, and I was hoping to let my users continue using it for while they have Windows 11. Today I am getting an error of "OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from WinHttpRequest: The date in the certificate is invalid or has expired". Is this because Microsoft is no longer supporting VFP, or is it something on our end? Thanks for any help.
This may not help, but your program may run on Windows 10. I have an old VFP program that I use frequently on w-10. It wont run on W-11.
Amy - I am only just seeing that question you asked. I don't check my Outlook email address, which is where the notification of you comment went to. If you still need assistance, please reply.
Amy - I can say that the error looks like a problem with a security certificate on your server. That is not something that is VFP specific. If you get your certificate renewed, you should be fine. Of course, it's now 13 days later, so maybe you have gotten to the bottom of the problem by now. I hope so.

Creo que Kent se refiere al IDE, yo he intentado instalar el IDE para escribir código en WIN11 y no pude instalarlo. Ahora las aplicaciones ya compiladas las corro sin problemas en WIN10 y 11. A alguien le pasó lo mismo?
