The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSAfter patching FoxPro for MS-DOS from version 2.6 to version 2.6a, you run Printer Driver Setup and receive this error:
<drive>:\<path>Genpd.exe is not a FoxPro EXE file. CAUSEThe GENPD.EXE patch file remained in the <drive>:\FPD26 directory after the patch was applied.
RESOLUTIONExit from FoxPro. Then delete, rename, or move the GENPD.EXE patch file.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
Additional NotesFoxPro sets the _GENPD system memory variable to the following when FoxPro starts:
<drive>:\FPD26\Genpd.exeYou must reset it to this:
<drive>:\FPD26\Genpd.appThis makes it possible to call Genpd.app. Resetting this allows normal operation for the current FoxPro session, but exiting and restarting FoxPro will reset _GENPD back to Genpd.exe unless Genpd.exe is renamed or deleted. All of the patch files are automatically deleted if the DELETE parameter is passed on the command line when DOPATCH.BAT is executed. Dopatch.bat notes that the patch file Gens.exe must be deleted to allow FoxPro to function correctly, but it makes no mention of Genpd.exe other than to say it is permissible to delete it along with the other patch files. For more information about the location of FoxPro patch files, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
