INFO: Platforms Supported by Visual FoxPro Version 5.0 (156168)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0
This article was previously published under Q156168

SUMMARY

Unlike Visual FoxPro 3.0 for Windows, Visual FoxPro 5.0 does not run or create executable files for 16-bit operating systems, such as Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups. Visual FoxPro 5.0 runs only on the Windows 95 and the Windows NT 32-bit operating systems.

MORE INFORMATION

Visual FoxPro 5.0 no longer supports the Win32s subsystem. The Win32s files allow the native Visual FoxPro 32-bit application code to communicate with 16-bit operating systems. By not supporting the Win32s subsystem, Visual FoxPro 5.0 hopes to improve performance, increase stability, and reduce overhead.
