foxrun.pif cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64 bit version of windows. unsupported 16-bit application

---------------------------
Unsupported 16-Bit Application
---------------------------
The program or feature "\??\c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual foxpro 7\foxrun.pif" cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.



Solution:


FOXRUN.PIF is just shortcut to MS-DOS program (COMMAND.COM)

Command.com is not exist in 64 bit machine.

CMD.EXE is working in 64 bit.

So make shortcut of C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe at D:\LD\ with name of FOXRUN.PIF


Now your application will work fine.


-----alternate solution

16 bit applications do not run under 64 bits. foxrun.pif is not required in 64 bit machines.

\ld\foxrun.pif delete or rename it.
