Re: What's the canonical way of installing FoxAPI on a virgin WP70?
The answer is "There is no canonical way of installing FoxAPI on a virgin
WP70." FoxAPI is not supported as an "end product" on the WP70.
It will run on a WP70, but there is no standard installation.
Re: I have here an application which needs to run on a WP70 but also needs
FoxAPI (for reading object values)
One of the true joys of NT - no remote displays.
The recent Server 70 product would allow your application to run on the AW
and put its display on the WP, but I'm sure you don't have one and they cost
more.

Subject: FoxAPI on WP70s / FoxView crashes
Folks,
thanks for the answers to my "FoxView crashes" mail. I suspect that
it is a conversion problem from Display Manager to FoxView like David
Johnson suggested. I will verify that on Tuesday.
Another question: What's the canonical way of installing FoxAPI on a
virgin WP70? I have here an application which needs to run on a WP70 but
also needs FoxAPI (for reading object values). WP70s don't have FoxAPI and
when I asked some Foxboro people I got the following answers:
* Add the Data for Windows / FoxAPI package to the WP70's system
configuration. Not satisfying since the application needs only FoxAPI and
the customer is rather reluctant to install a package like DfW just to get
the API onto the machine.
* Install QF990084 (to install FoxAPI 4.2.2) and then QF990341 (to
upgrade to 4.2.4) "on top of it". This doesn't work since QF990084 has been
officially superseded by QF990341 and the latter needs an existing FoxAPI to
upgrade. If there is no FoxAPI on the machine, the installation script will
fail because it will not find the API directory (/opt/fox/ais/bin).
QF990084 is no longer available for NT machines on the CSC site.
I could, of course, unpack the QF990341 manually and copy the files
where they belong. But this is far from being "official" (whatever that
means).
