We now have a promising Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 entry in the fancy new Windows 10 Start menu: copied the replacement files to the correct places per the instructions in the readme file in the zip download). Next, I downloaded and installed Service Pack 2 for VFP 9, and once again, got this nice little affirming message box:įinally, I “installed” the VFP 9 Hotfix 3 for SP2 (i.e. Next I moved on to the main VFP install, and I took all the defaults, then the CD spun around for a bit, and finally, it gave me a nice message screen stating “Setup is complete” and “There were no errors during setup.” Looking good so far!! First, it prompted me to install some “Prerequisites”, which it did with no problems. Next, I gently inserted the Visual FoxPro 9 CD that I still have from circa 2004. That went very smoothly, and I did a full install, blowing away the Windows 8 playground I had been using that partition, instead of updating it from Windows 8 to Windows 10. (Don’t worry about this Mac stuff, it’s still just Windows running on live hardware, just like if it were a Dell or HP computer).

Well, I wanted to be one of the first to find out, just like I did back when Windows 8 was first released in its early preview.įirst, I installed Windows 10 Preview (64 bit) in a BootCamp partition on my 15” MacBook Pro. I’m sure many die-hard FoxPro developers are curious if Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP 2 will install and run on Windows 10.
