Running 32 bits compiled Visual Foxpro App in Win 7 64 bit machine

Good afternoon I have a inherited (from programmer abroad) Visual FoxPro 32 bits app and I have to make it run in a Windows 7 64 bits PC, once I try to run it it displays a message that says ("The version of this program is different from the version of windows you have") . I googled and installed VisualFoxPro 9 from Microsoft page and SP 2 for Visual Fox Pro, but it seems that as longs as the App was compiled in a 32 bits platform it can not run in a 64 bits Machine, any suggestions on that problem would be very appreciated. thanks in advance.

Make sure you have the correct runtimes installed. Do you know which version of VFP it was compiled in?

VFP comes in the following versions, each with their own runtimes:

  • FPW 2.6a
  • VFP 3
  • VFP 5
  • VFP 6
  • VFP 7
  • VFP 8
  • VFP 9
  • VFP 9 SP2

If you are sure that you have the correct runtime installed, are you sure it was built in Visual FoxPro and not the older FoxPro 2.X? That would be 16-bit and you would have some trouble running those versions.
