SYMPTOMS

In the German version of Visual FoxPro 6.0, an executable built from a project that contains version information or has the Auto Increment check box selected fails to run under the German version of Windows NT 4.0. The following error message appears:
<path>/P.EXE ist keine zulassige Anwendung fur Windows.
A rough translation in English follows:
<path>/P.exe is not a permissible application for Windows.

Remove version information in the Project Manager and make sure that the Auto Increment check box is not selected.
