FIX: Using Genhtml.prg in Distributed Application is Difficult

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

The Genhtml engine included with Visual FoxPro 6.0 has many dependencies, including several programs and a number of foundation class libraries. When building a project that uses Genhtml.prg, the project manager will often fail to automatically include all the necessary dependencies in the project.

RESOLUTION

The following files should be manually added to the project:

_base.vcx
_html.vcx
_movers.vcx
Runcode.prg
Setobjrf.prg

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3.
