PRB: Cannot Execute WLINK8.EXEID: Q104046 The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSFoxPro generates the error message "Cannot execute WLINK8.EXE." CAUSEThis error may be caused by one of the following conditions:
RESOLUTIONMake sure WLINK8.EXE is in the FoxPro directory and make sure the FoxPro directory is in the MS-DOS search path. If FoxPro is installed on a Novell network, the FoxPro directory should be on a search-mapped drive, not a mapped drive. If your machine does not have enough free conventional memory: 1. Make sure that COMMAND.COM can be found; use SHELL= with the /P parameter in the CONFIG.SYS file. For example: SHELL = C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM /P 2. Make sure FOXSWAP.COM and PROAPI16.EXE are in the FoxPro directory. NOTE: The PROAPI16.EXE file is external to FoxPro 2.0, but is built into FoxPro versions 2.5 and later. 3. If you are using the Extended version of FoxPro for MS-DOS, make sure DOSMEM=OFF is in the CONFIG.FP file. 4. Try other methods to free more conventional memory.
