Re: [foxboro] Moving XP box from 7.0 to 8.x

We had faced the same problem with Win XP based version 8.0 software. This 
problem normally occurs if do not install FoxAPI from a separate CD (came 
with your system)  at the end of the normal installation. To fix this 
problem we restored Windows XP to a pre I/A install checkpoint and then 
re-installed I/A ver 8.0 software. After completion of normal Day0 
installation we installed FoxAPI and then rebooted. This solved our problem.
