InstantForum 2017-1 FinalStrataFrame Forumhttp://forum.strataframe.net/StrataFrame ForumTue, 09 Jun 2026 11:39:50 GMT20http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost5007.aspxI'm finally getting around to installing the 1.5.1 update from 11/20/06. I deactivate my current strataframe, uninstall it and start the installation.<br> <br> During installation, I received an error that vfp8r.dll couldn't be registered. I try continueing. It then prompted for a database connection, I click the down arrow in the combo for server and it throws an unhandled exception. When I close out of that, it was trying to install the strataframe dbs (bad, I don't want to loose any of the work I've done!). So, how do I resolve this issue and how do I have it NOT install the strataframe db. <br>Thu, 07 Dec 2006 11:08:06 GMTGreg McGuffeyhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost5062.aspxWhen next I install, I try to repro again and remember to get the details. <br> <br> Apparently SF is the only thing that needs the vfp8r.dll, as it is gone when SF is uninstalled. Fortunately, I have no VFP dbs to import, so impact on me will be none :DThu, 07 Dec 2006 11:08:06 GMTGreg McGuffeyhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost5044.aspxThe details would be nice, but that window shows some relevant information in that "Background Worker" message.&nbsp; Thanks.Thu, 07 Dec 2006 08:35:13 GMTStrataFrame Teamhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost5030.aspxOK, I uninstalled and reinstalled again, both so I could make sure the tables where updated and to get the error screen capture. I realized afterwards that I should have clicked on the details button. :blink: Hopefully this will be of some help.Wed, 06 Dec 2006 14:24:12 GMTGreg McGuffeyhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost5018.aspxNo, if you choose an existing StrataFrame database, the install will update the structure of the tables to the current version.&nbsp; As for why the vfp8r.dll won't register, I'm not sure.&nbsp; That is&nbsp;a Microsoft VFP runtime DLL that is used by the DDT when importing VFP databases.&nbsp; It's generally located within the C:\Windows\System32\ folder, so you might check there, and if there is already one there, delete it.</P><P>As for the exception you're getting when you drop-down the server selection combo, what is it?&nbsp; It's most likely unrelated to the vfp8r.dll issue, and the exception details might help.Wed, 06 Dec 2006 13:40:37 GMTStrataFrame Teamhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost5008.aspxI just tried a reinstall. I still get the vfp8r.dll registration message. I think the other issue occurs if you select sql server user and then click on the drop down (with no user or password).<br> <br> Also, if I pick a sql server with a StrataFrame database already existing, will it install over it?Wed, 06 Dec 2006 13:12:29 GMTGreg McGuffey
