Installation

Description »

The installation is simple and straightforward. Unzip the eTecnologiaNetExtender.zip to the Tools directory inside the Visual Foxpro directory.

If you are using VFP 8 it will be located in c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Foxpro 8\Tools.

It is very important to extract the zip to this folder, it will recreate the folder structure necessary for .NET Extender for VFP. Be sure your Unzip Tool recreates the folder structure (if you are using Winzip mark the checkbox "Use Folder Names".

Then you can run, from VFP, the program "installer.app" located in the folder eTecnologiaNetExtender under your tools directory (typically it will be at c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Foxpro 8\Tools\eTecnologiaNetExtender).

The installer just makes one change of two options:

• Adds one line to your Startup program to setup the environment, or
• Sets the SetEnvironment.prg (located in eTecnologiaNetExtender\prgs\) as your startup program.

Exit and restart VFP it will load the .Net Extender toolbar which works like a Control Center for you.

Enjoy the .NET Framework Power from VFP!.
