SYMPTOMS

In the German version of Visual FoxPro 6.0, an executable built from a project that contains version information or has the Auto Increment check box selected fails to run under the German version of Windows NT 4.0. The following error message appears:
<path>/P.EXE ist keine zulassige Anwendung fur Windows.
A rough translation in English follows:
<path>/P.exe is not a permissible application for Windows.

RESOLUTION

Remove version information in the Project Manager and make sure that the Auto Increment check box is not selected.

  5. Place a number in either the Major, Minor, or Revision text boxes or select the Auto Increment check box.
  6. Click OK twice and then build the executable file.
  7. Start Explorer and attempt to start the executable.
