APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q129206

SYMPTOMS

Running an executable created in Visual FoxPro results in the error "Cannot Find FOXUT16.DLL" followed by "FOXUT16.DLL is missing or invalid." This error occurs only under Windows or Windows for Workgroups versions 3.x.

CAUSE

FOXUT16.DLL is the universal thunking DLL required by Visual FoxPro and executables created in Visual FoxPro when using the Win32s subsystem. This error will not occur when the executable is run under Windows NT.

RESOLUTION

For an executable created in Visual FoxPro to run under Win32s, you must include the FOXUT16.DLL file in the same directory as the executable or in a directory included in the MS-DOS path.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
