ID: Q124922

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Unix, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS
Attempting to build an Application (.APP) file using the existing LASER project file in the /usr/lib/FoxPro/goodies/laser/unixonly directory fails with the following error message:

Unable to find Screen /usr/lib/FoxPro/tools/laser.scx. Choosing Locate from the error message dialog box, then selecting LASER.SCX from Tools directory causes the following error message: Could not find SCX file: C:\USR\LIB\FOXPRO\T... Line number 984 Press any key to cleanup and exit...

RESOLUTION
Create a new project and add in all the files listed in the original project. You will then be able to build the .APP file using the new project.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
