FoxPro runs fine on 64 bit Windows.
if you're distributing the application either run an installer to put the runtime files in their proper place (in the program files/common files location) or put them into your application folder. If you're not using an installer the latter is a better choice.
Realize though that you need true admin rights (not running under User Account Control) to register the FoxPro runtime files. I think runtime registration fails silently and that's the most likely reason you're seeing this error you're encountering. If you want to manually register make sure you use an Admin Command prompt (Click Run As Administrator on the Command Prompt shortcut).

Hi Rick
I am distributing an application in VFP9 SP2 compiled as an executable on Windows 7 32 bit OS. It runs OK on XP thro Windows 7 (32 bit) but when the application is run on a computer with Windows 7 64 bit OS the user encounters the message "Cannot locate the Microsoft Visual FoxPro support library". The .exe is in a folder under the Program Files (x86) folder and in the same folder are the msvcr71.dll, foxtools and foxuser files. The library appears to have registered correctly. Have you any idea what the issue may be here, and how to overcome it?
Thanks and regards,
Andrew Hall
